Fulvous-faced Scrub-Tyrant

Tiny, short-tailed bird with a thin, slightly upturned bill. Yellow eyering in all plumages, but different subspecies vary tremendously in plumage, ranging from black-headed to white-headed, streaked and unstreaked; in flight all, show prominent pale wingstripe. Inhabits woodlands, where usually seen in small flocks that methodically clamber along tree trunks, probing for insects in bark. Birds give frequent “chip-chip” call as they forage.

A small and elegant finch. More elongated than European Serin and much plainer. Note the unstreaked underparts and green wing coverts. Adults have a yellow face while young are browner. Call is a high-pitched trill, more buzzing than European Serin. Breeds in open woodland and scrub on rocky slopes of high mountains. In winter descends to arid and semi-arid habitats.

Brown hornbill with a white belly and a yellow-and-orange bill. The white outer tail feathers and wing patches are conspicuous in flight. Found in arid savanna. Usually solitary or in pairs; sometimes in small flocks. Call is a series of clucking notes that accelerates and becomes louder. Fairly similar to Bradfield’s Hornbill, but has white in the wings, much more white in the tail, and a yellow base to the bill.
