The Orange-breasted Bushshrike is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Orange-breasted Bushshrike was difficult, the first merely heard and a little later on, a second bird appeared very briefly but did not show again. We found three further Ground Hornbills on our way back to camp, arriving back soon after 11am. With free time then until a late lunch, an African Hoopoe seemed to be collecting food for young, a pair of Red-billed Woodhoopoes were searching the knarled tree trunks near Reception, and a Crested Barbet was also here.

Go-away-bird, Red-headed Weaver, and Orange-breasted Bushshrike were also picked up in this area. After breakfast we birded the riparian woodland along the lake side and got Buff-spotted Woodpecker and Yellow-throated Greenbul. We were almost got ourselves by 3 large bushpigs which crashed out of a thicket and crossed the road in front of us! Just 30 minutes into our boat ride we had already found 2 Finfoot and obtained excellent views as we quietly approached them. More
