Not uncommon, and appears to have been rather more 

 plentiful during the last few months — March, April, May, 

 and June. As a rule it is solitary, though sometimes two 

 are met with together; but I have never seen it in flocks. 

 It is certainly a shy bird and difficult to approach.

Irrisor viridis Stark & Scl. Birds S. Afr. iii. p. 14. 



I saw two examples of this beautiful species on May 23rd ; 

 they flew across the road in front of me as I was cycling 

 into town. Since then I have seen it on two or three 

 occasions. The flight is rather heavy and slow, but even — 

 the tails being carried almost horizontally.
