Red-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher
Tanysiptera nympha
A striking, long-tailed kingfisher of lowland and foothill forest, including mangroves and riverine forest. Red bill and rump, deep orange underparts, black upperparts with blue crown, shoulder and long tail with 2 white spatules. Perches in the midstory of the forest interior. The most similar Brown-headed Paradise-Kingfisher appear not to co-occur, but gets close and Red-breasted differs in having a black rather than brown head. Buff-breasted is superficially similar but has a white back and tail. Song, a forceful downward trill “brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….!”

Antarctic Petrel
Thalassoica antarctica
Striking brown-and-white petrel of Antarctica and its adjacent seas and islands. Essentially unmistakable, but worth comparing with Cape Petrel if seen at great distance. Breeds on rocky slopes and cliff faces, both coastal and inland; one of very few flying birds likely to be seen any distance inland in Antarctica. When not breeding, disperses north, sometimes getting as far as the Falklands. Often seen in huge numbers around foraging cetaceans or fishing vessels.

Sao Tome Oriole
Oriolus crassirostris
Old World oriole that is unusual in nearly lacking yellow in its plumage. There is a dark hood which is solid in males and streaky in females. A small white mark on the wing and pale yellow marks in the outer tail can be conspicuous in flight. Found in the canopy of rainforest at low and middle elevations. Song is a series of slurred, low-pitched liquid whistles. Calls include a harsh, upslurred nasal scold. Easily identified, as it is the only oriole on the island of Sao Tome.

Gabela Akalat
Sheppardia gabela
A rather small, demure understory denizen resembling a cross between a robin and a flycatcher. Mostly dull brownish-olive with a rusty rump and a paler throat and belly. Juvenile is more mottled. A local and endangered bird found singly and in pairs in thick undergrowth of primary and secondary forest, thickets, and coffee plantations, resident in a narrow range along the Angolan escarpment between 810 and 1300 meters of elevation. Sits for long periods, sallying to catch insect prey. Calls include a soft series of descending whistles. May be mistaken for a flycatcher, but its furtive nature and preference for thick understory are unique within its range.
