Claire (not that Dee mentions that) has waited for the civil war in Angola to end, only to go searching for a lost bird, described in Angola in 1960s and then lost during the war. In my mind, Claire is a hybrid between Lara Croft and Huckleberry Finn. Is its habitat still there? No one has seen it after the initial discovery!

However during a summer visit to the far northwest of Zambia on the DRC-Angola border, I filmed pipits with young that Richard Liversidge, just before his untimely passing, confirmed were Long-tailed. The second discovery was a cryptic species now known as Kimberley Pipit and its exact range and niche are still being debated.

The African or Angola Pitta is the holy grail of the Southern African birder and definitely the “most-wanted” bird in our region. Carrie didn’t get a shot of her Cape May Warbler but fortunately I had a few to choose from… Adam had a pitta as his Best Bird of the Year too?!?! This is so unfair.
