[Verreaux's Dusky Flycatcher was plentiful in both the Eturi and Mpanga Forests. 

 It was generally to be seen perched high up at the end of a dead bough, from which it 

 made short flights after passing insects, always returning to the same tree ; sometimes 

 six or eight might be seen on a single dead tree, but they were more often observed in 

 ])airs. When flying they might be easily mistaken for Martins. — B. B. W.'\
