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. 
59. Irrisor yiridis. 
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.
