males of Red-thighed Sparrowhawk, and juvenile females of Chestnut flanked Sparrowhawk are more common in the collection than the opposite sex (in each case). These unequal sex ratios between species, some statistically significant, could be due to behavioural differences. Although annual primary moult is descendant in most specimens, it is demonstrated here for the first time in the genus Accipiter (in the African Goshawk) that it does not always follow a strict descendant mode. Some serial descendant primary moult cases are illustrated. More

Red-billed Helmet-shrike and Red-thighed Sparrowhawk rank high on everyone's list. The infrastructure of Ghana is probably the best in West Africa, with Accra being its modern capital. More
