Resident in S Africa but generally a secretive species. Thought to enter some marginal areas in E Africa only
temporarily, probably from C African woodlands; to some extent nomadic in E Africa. Possibly only a non-
breeding migrant during the wet season (Jun-Oct) to W Africa, where has been recorded W to Sierra Leone and
Senegambia. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
