Pirre Chlorospingus

Large black and white cormorant with dark face, white flanks, and black "trousers." Very similar to Pied Cormorant; note present species' black lores and chin. Almost exclusively found in marine environments, and unlikely to be seen away from the ocean.

Miniscule yellow weaver with an unusually long and slender bill. Breeding males have a clean black face mask and yellow underparts. Females have a clean, pale-yellow head, unlike other weavers. Found in wetland habitats including swamps, marshes, and mangroves, and sometimes in adjacent savanna or scrub. Usually in pairs or small groups; not as social as some weavers. Vocalizations are typical of weavers: “chet” notes and a sizzling, “radio static” song. Most similar to Little Weaver, but found in different habitat, and has a much longer bill. Separated from all other weavers by its small size and bill shape.

A small, pallid, long-winged leaf warbler. Separable from the closely related Western Bonelli's Warbler by range and vocalizations. Similar to other leaf warblers such as Common Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler, but note present species’ plainer facial pattern, prominent yellowish-green wing panel and outer tail feathers, and very white underparts. Song is a short, ringing trill. Call is a distinctive sharp “tzip.” Flits around in bushes and trees searching for tiny invertebrates; often hovers while feeding. Breeds in dense Mediterranean scrub and forests. During non-breeding season, found in various vegetated habitats including desert acacia wadis, open woodlands, and scrub.
