“ Umgubane/ 5 
A fairly common resident. It may often be disturbed 
while feeding on the ground. It then flies off to the nearest 
bush with its tail widely spread and the subterminal band 
of white shewing very conspicuously. Its legs are pale grey, 
as stated by Marshall. 
Two nests taken near Bulawayo on December 9th 
were each formed of fine twigs wound round into a neat 
shallow cup, having an internal diameter of about 3^ inches. 
They were resting on the horizontal branches of bushes and 
only two or three feet off the ground. These nests contained 
two and three eggs respectively. They are white with 
small chocolate-coloured splashes and blotches, and measure 
24 x 18*5 mm. 
A nest found on January 2 contained two chicks.

Bill black ; legs and feet pale grey; iris silvery white or a 
very light grey. Like the preceding species, a common 
resident. Its habits are also very similar to those of 
T. senegalus. A nest containing two eggs was taken on 
December 26. It was almost identical in construction and 
position with those of its ally. The eggs, again, only differ 
in being slightly smaller.
