The tropical boubou or bell shrike (Laniarius aethiopicus) [1] is a medium-sized passerine bird of sub-Saharan Africa.This very diverse "species" with its numerous subspecies and morphs has since long posed a taxonomic problem, and recent research suggests it is a cryptic species complex that has now been split into several species.
Laniarius is a genus of brightly coloured, carnivorous passerine birds commonly known as boubous or gonoleks.Not to be confused with the similar-sounding genus Lanius, they were formerly classed with the true shrikes in the family Laniidae, but they and related genera are now considered sufficiently distinctive to be separated from that group as the bush-shrike family Malaconotidae.
The tropical boubou is named for the call given in duet by a pair. This one is at the Masai Mara. Order: Passeriformes Family: Malaconotidae. Bushshrikes are similar in habits to shrikes, hunting insects and other small prey from a perch on a bush.
The thick-knees are a group of largely tropical waders in the family Burhinidae. They are found worldwide within the tropical zone, with some species also breeding in temperate Europe and Australia. They are medium to large waders with strong black or yellow-black bills, large yellow eyes and cryptic plumage.
