Hi Darcy,

What about Brown Parisoma for your mystery bird?

Happy New Year to all,

Graeme

Hi all, 

I've just returned from our farm in the lower Cherangany's.  The forests of the lower Cherangany's have been cut down at an alarming rate, alongside a huge loss of native trees that are being replanting with gum trees and grevillia. Needless to say the western specialties that I used to find on the farm are no more, e.g. leafloves and Double-toothed Barbets. 

The birding this year was especially poor, though this could be for other reasons as well.  I will only mention the migrants which were Eurasian Bee-eater, Steppe Buzzard, and one of the nightengale-like birds that I didn't get a positive id of.

it was behaving

like a warbler, which

These photos may be of the same bird, but they were taken ~40 mins later in the same location, so they could be another bird.

I would appreciate any help with this bird. 

Happy 2018, 

Darcy
