Anne and I arrived safely in Malawi and are now finishing up a wonderful dinner with her colleagues in Lilongwe. I even got to see some birds this afternoon, but I’ve gotta make a quick post because of limited bandwidth.
I was thrilled to get another look at the amazing variable sunbird. There were a pair flitting back and forth between a powerline and a tree in the yard. Here’s the male:
And here’s the female:
Finally, I believe this is a new bird for me, a spotted flycatcher. It winters down here, in southern Africa, and will probably soon fly to Europe for breeding season.
Tomorrow, we all drive to the Nkotakhata Wildlife Reserve to see what we can see. I’ll keep you posted.

Glad your made it â start of some wonderful bird sights and new experiences for both of you.
