This was my first encounter with a Bare-faced go-away-bird, a very odd bird with an elongated tail. It flew up from a bush and I managed to catch it just when it taken off. The black field on the face is, as the name implies, featherless ("bare-faced"). It also has a characteristic crest, but in this picture, this is partially obscured by the right wing. This is the sub-species 'leopoldi' that occurs locally and sparingly in East Africa. The bird is little known, but it seems clear that it subsists on fruits, buds and seeds.
