Another full day in Mole National Park. The best bird of the day was most likely a Walberg's Honeybird, split by some authorities from Brown-backed Honeybird. The first record of this species for Ghana was only recorded in December 2009 also in Mole National Park as it happens. A group of Danish ringers caught and ringed the second records afterwards. I cant't imagine there's been too many records since. It was lifer for our guide who has been birding in Ghana for a number of years now.
A good day for birds of prey again with several species showing well. Over the past two days we had recorded African Harrier-Hawk, Palm-nut Vulture,, White-headed Vulture, Hooded Vulture, White-backed Vulture, Bateleur, Beaudouin's Snake Eagle, Brown Snake Eagle, Walberg's Eagle, Booted Eagle, Lizard Buzzard, Dark Chanting Goshawk, Grasshopper Buzzard, Shrika and Red-necked Buzzard.
