local movements |
Resident in most areas but some seasonal movement into coastal Kenya to breed in Apr-Nov and into Transvaal
highveld after breeding in May-Aug. May move locally within deciduous woodland in response to fluctuations
in chameleon and insect numbers, leading to irregular influxes in areas of E and S Africa. Small-scale seasonal
movements have also been detected in W African savannas. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J
