	Untitled
		Akalats are small chat-like or robin-like birds, (most) closely related to the genera Saxicola, Erithacus, Cossypha, Alethe, Luscinia, Erythropygia and Oenanthe.
		The new species, Rubeho Akalat Sheppardia aurantiithorax (Dutch name: Rubehojanfrederik), was mistnetted (but not collected) already in 1989 in the Ukaguru mountains, c 150 km north of the range of Iringa Akalat S lowei, of which it was then assumed to represent an isolated population.
		Rubeho Akalat differs from its presumed sister taxa, Iringa and Usambara Akalat, by a deep orange throat and upperbreast, without white in the centre of the throat, and a richer copper wash on the upperparts.

		The Tanzania Bird Atlas is under development but already contains a large number of excellent distribution maps produced from a database of sightings across the whole of Tanzania.
		A new species of akalat, endemic to the Eastern Arc montane forests in Tanzania, has been described recently.
		It has been named Rubeho Akalat Sheppardia aurantiithorax – ABC Bulletin Vol 11 No 2 August 2004, p 93.

		However, I did stop in one good area where I heard an Akalat calling, but on playing my CD, discovered it was "just" Bocage's Akalat.
		I pulled out my CD player, and played the call of the Bocage's Akalat, but the call was very different - much simpler.
		While chasing the Akalat, a Red-crested Turaco perched nearby in clear sunlight - and I had the opportunity of taking the first picture (I believe) of the species in the wild - except my camera was in the vehicle!

	Some observations from the Usambaras (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sharpe's Akalat (Sheppardia sharpei) Only recorded along the Turaco trail where heard several times on 2nd and 4th August with one brought into view by playback on the 2nd August.
		Usambara Akalat (Sheppardia montana) This species, restricted to the west Usambaras, was found along a trail that runs from just below the Sawmill at Magamba some 200m back towards Lushoto on the left.
		Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus roehli) This endemic subspecies, which will probably be elevated to full species rank in the future, was seen along the road near the start of the turaco trail on 2nd August, the only record.

		Indeed, many other aspects of the life history of the Rubeho akalat need to be clarified through fieldwork, including presence or absence of breeding seasonality, range of the vocalization repertoire, measures of population density, and specific ecological requirements.
		Our study contributes information about biogeographic patterns within the East Arc avifauna.

		It also holds a number of mouthwatering new birds for those who have visited east and west Africa, but not the miombo belt of south-central Africa.
		A morning in Manenjere Forest was partially successful, with Tony Smith getting onto a Sharpe’s Akalat and several people seeing a male Red-faced Crimsonwing, although everybody had good views of an obliging Olive-flanked Robin-Chat in the forest undergrowth.
		After about an hour in the forest we gave it one more burst of pre-recorded song and finally were rewarded with an akalat calling back.

	Kenya Birds - coast
		The South Coast extends from the Tanzanian border north to Mombasa and includes the well-known Shimba Hills Reserve which is about 15-20km inlands from the coast.
		This is an important area for the Southern Banded Snake Eagle, Fischer's Turaco, Sokoke Scops Owl, Spotted Ground Thrush, Sokoke Pipit, East Coast Akalat, Amani Sunbird, Plain-backed Sunbird and Clarke's Weaver.
		Away from the Delta along the last 65km of the Tana River you have the Tana River Forest which is home to Southern Banded Snake Eagle, Fischer's Turaco, Malindi Pipit, East Coast Akalat, White-winged Apalis, Tana River Cisticola, Basra Reed Warbler and Plain-backed Sunbird.

		We had heard Loveridge's Sunbird, Spot-throat and Sharpe's Akalat but not a sign was actually seen of any of them.
		Colourful Fülleborn's Sunbirds lit up the way, Chapin's Apalis was seen and some glimpsed a Sharpe's Akalat but other than this it was really just a slog to get us up to the camp that was to be our base for three nights.
		Upon arrival, the long journey (a “four hours walk” had turned into an all day, ten hours struggle!) felt more than worthwhile for we were situated in a beautiful valley, far from everything and anything man-made.

		We shall also climb into the Ukaguru Mountains in order to search for new species of akalat and sunbird, descriptions of which are soon to be published.
		Moving southwest to Iringa we will make a lengthy trek into the scenic Udzungwa Mountains where, much to the scientific world’s surprise, a new species of partridge was discovered as recently as 1991.
		During this extraordinary adventure we shall be spending a significant amount of time in the forests of the ‘Eastern Arc Mountains’ and much, often strenuous, effort will be required in order to find these rare and little-known birds in the fragile, remnant forests, constantly under threat from human encroachment, that are their home.

		Another early try for East Coast Akalat, which was finally taped in with the aid of a record of its song, taped by David — his tape of the bird had been broken and could not be fixed, despite the natural glue he distracted from a forest tree.
		Highlights: (mixed forest) East Coast Akalat; (Brachystegia) Eastern Nicator; (Gongoni) male Pin-tailed Whydah (one of only a few seen this trip); (Sabaki River Mouth) African Skimmer, Senegal Plover, distant Sooty Gulls, Zanzibar Red Bishop, Madagascar Pratincoles; (Golf Course) Slender-tailed Nightjar.
		Walking the trail through this dark and (yet again) empty forest between 7 and 11 we saw 3 (!) birds, of which Sharpe’s Akalat was only seen by Martin and RH.
