NotesUpdate on pl melanocephalus - Most birds have left their nests and flying in flocks but still a lot are breeding; I observed all along the river and found several still building , displaying males, nests with eggs, males still in breeding colours. These pictures were taken on the Zambian side,hundreds all along the river on both sides. Pelzelni has dissapeared completely along the river, no new nests found, only lots of Melanocephalus,some Xanthops nesting and a few Ocularis.
