The breeding season does not appear to be well known. On the 

 Nandi highlands elgonensis has been found nesting early in June. 

 Mearns saw about 100 of these birds at Escarpment. September 4-12.

Since the above was first written van Someren ^ has described the 

 Mount Kenya bird as keniensis, differing from elgonensis by being 

 larger. He did not compare keniensis with southern birds. I consider 

 keniensis a synonym of loaUeri.
