Cover Story
The quest for Green-breasted Pitta
Keith Barnes succumbs to one of his lifelong birding obsessions and heads to Uganda in search of the fabulous but poorly known and elusive Green-breasted Pitta.
Features
Birds on the move
Peter Ryan is a diligent bird atlaser in his home patch on the southern Cape Peninsula. He examines data that reveal how populations are changing as some species lose their specialised habitats and move elsewhere and how the numbers of alien birds are burgeoning.
Sokoke Scops-Owl
As few as 800 pairs of Sokoke Scops-Owl remain in their restricted range in Kenyan forests, and numbers are steadily dropping as the species’ habitat is constantly being reduced.
