  • 摘要:While birdwatching in Semuliki Forest National Park, western Uganda, on the morn- ing of 11 June 2019, with Per Holmen and our expert ranger-guide Olibokiriho Jus- tice, we were fortunate to enjoy good views of the sought-after African Piculet Sasia africana, a species new to Per and me. No sooner had the bird disappeared into the wooded swamp, Justice drew our attention to some lively, chattering notes com- ing from directly above us. As we looked up, two birds flew a short distance and Justice called them out as Chest- nut-capped Flycatchers Erythrocer- cus mccallii, another new species for Per and me. We all managed good binocular views and I was able to locate one of the birds through my camera viewfinder even though they were, by now, some distance away. The resulting image clear- ly shows the plumage characters of this species: orange-chestnut crown and tail, greyish nape and ear coverts, buffy throat and paler underparts, and olive-brown upperparts, leaving the identification in no doubt. In terms of behaviour, the two birds were quite vocal and, at times, rather hyperactive before remaining quiet for several moments. Tail-wagging, a characteristic of the genus, was witnessed although not as frantically as one might expect.
