In Mozambique, our trip focuses on the region north of Beira and towards the Zambezi River. This area boasts all the Mozambique specials, except for the Olive-headed Weaver. These specials include the following birds which, within southern Africa, are found exclusively in Mozambique: Green-headed Oriole, White-chested Alethe, East Coast Akalat, Yellow-bellied Hyliota, and Speckle-throated Woodpecker.In addition to these resident species we have the possibility of encountering two rare winter visitors from Madagascar ie Mascarene Martin and Malagasy Pond-Heron. December 2013 saw great excitement in birding circles when a small population of Bohm s Bee-eaters was discovered on a farm near Sena on the banks of the Zambezi River. Subsequent visits by various birding groups have been successful and it seems likely that these birds are resident in the area. Wetland areas near this site hold out the possibility of Malagasy Pond-Heron.
2 Three nights are spent in the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe, on our return from Mozambique. We will be based in the Bvumba highlands where birding is excellent and where we are sure to add some of the Zimbabwe specials to our list. 2 THE DESTINATIONS Rio Savane lies at the mouth of the mangrove lined Savane River, some 30km north of Beira. The surrounding area consists of extensive marshland and remnant patches of coastal forest. From our base at Catapu, situated 32km south of the Zambezi River we explore the Zambezi River area. This area includes extensive pristine coastal forest, mixed woodland, miombo woodland, pans and swamps. Good roads traverse the area and access all the main habitats.
3 3 Gorongosa Mountain is an isolated mountain peak of 1863m in central Mozambique. It is sacred in local tradition and the only site in southern Africa to see the Green-headed Oriole. Habitats include lowland woodland with riverine thickets at the base, cliffs, scrubby slopes and montane forests higher up, with montane grassland at the peak. Footpaths lead from the base to the forests on the slopes and birding is rewarding all the way. Gorongosa National Park is situated approximately 200km from the Zimbabwe border. The dry woodland, grassland and seasonal marshes in this huge (3770 sq km) National Park support large numbers of birds.
4 Gorongosa was formerly one of the great game parks of Africa, but numbers of large game animals were significantly depleted during the war years. An extensive restocking programme is currently underway and game drives now produce lion, elephant, buffalo, sable antelope and several smaller species of mammals. 4 The Bvumba highlands lie approximately 25km above the city of Mutare and offer exciting and varied birding opportunities. Habitats within this area are varied and include montane grassland, montane forest, miombo woodland and exotic plantations. BIRDING ATTRACTIONS Rio Savane and Beira Bat Hawk, Palm-nut Vulture, Red-necked Falcon, Mangrove Kingfisher, Grey Sunbird, Collared Pratincole, Short-tailed Pipit, Locustfinch, Blackrumped Buttonquail, Tiny Greenbul, Green Malkoha, Magpie Mannikin, Rufous-winged Cisticola, Square-tailed Nightjar.
