Fülleborn's Boubou

A large seedeater with a very thick pinkish bill. Brownish-olive above and yellow below with streaking along the sides. Males are slightly brighter and have thicker streaking below. Both sexes have a yellow rump that is conspicuous in flight. Found in dry thorn savanna and thorn scrub, usually in pairs or small groups. Similar to Brimstone Canary, but distinguished by the notably larger bill, streaked underparts, and yellow rump. The song is twittering, high-pitched, and variable, and can include imitations of other species. The most common call is a sliding “sreeyu.” 

This red-eyed masked-weaver has a plain olive-green back and pink-brown legs. The breeding male has a black face mask, with the black band on the forehead above the bill varying from broad in the south to narrow farther north. Female and juvenile are dull and inseparable from other masked-weavers. Pairs and colonies are localized residents of reedbeds, wetlands and adjacent woodland, in a narrow global range between northeastern Zambia and southeastern DRC. The breeding males of Katanga and Southern masked-weavers are very similar, but the former are smaller, have some saffron around the masks, and have darker green backs and rumps; breeding male Tanganyika and Lake Lufira Masked-Weavers have more burnt-orange around the face and underparts, and ranges do not overlap.

Brown owl with bright yellow eyes, densely-marked pale underparts, and white-spotted wings. Found only on Timor, where, aside from the very different Barn Owl, it is the only owl; migratory Northern Boobook could turn up on Timor, but has an entirely dark brown back. Inhabits wooded areas in the lowlands and foothills of the island. Gives a somewhat slurred, bouncy-sounding “woop-woop!”, as well as a smoother, deeper “dwoop-a-woop!”. Formerly regarded as a subspecies of Southern Boobook.
