Weaver, find Mountain Robin-Chat and African Hill-Babbler, watch a pair of bold Black-collared Apalis, and obtain brief views of a male Banded Wattle-eye. At the grassland edge we found our first White-bellied Tit and Pectoral-patch Cisticola displaying over the grasslands, before returning to town to discover that our hotel had no running water! After a quick couple of phone calls we were back in the vehicles and down to central Bamenda, soon to be installed in our comfortable new hotel, running water and all. More
