Introduction

Mozambique had never really featured as a birding destination for us, but the lure of trying to complete my Brooke Bond Tropical Birds album quest (50 species that I want to see) and our good relationship with Birding Ecotours www.birdingecotours.com who are so accommodating to our needs, had us approaching them to organise a customised tour for us visiting Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We gave them a list of bird and animal species that we wanted to see. After much negotiation we had a perfect tour with a good guide. However the world was then engulfed with a pandemic and covid had other ideas that meant that Zimbabwe closed its land borders and the tour was reorganised into two tours of a much longer length, meaning that I would not be able to do both. We opted to do the second half joining 4 others in Beira and travelling to central Mozambique.

Flights

International flights to Beira, Mozambique via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Blantyre, Malawi with Ethiopian Airlines www.ethiopianairlines.com cost £1400 each. We booked this reasonably last minute (as Mozambique had just come off the Red list) in the Trailfinders office in Norwich. Some routes were either unavailable or far too expensive.

Costs

Birding Ecotours Mozambique African Pitta Special cost £4462 each

Visa

A visa is necessary that took 3 weeks to process cost around £90 including post office tracking

Money

The ATM machine at the airport was broken which meant we were unable to get any local currency. However since everything on the tour was paid for and Dylan supplied water and soft drinks whilst we were out birding we ran a tab for any alcohol we consumed at the lodges which we settled up with Dylan at the end of the tour.

Climate

Mozambique was extremely hot and humid whilst we were there. Mozambique has a tropical climate with two seasons, a wet season from October to March and a dry season from April to September. Climatic conditions, however, vary depending on altitude. Rainfall is heavy along the coast and we suffered some rain on our first day’s birding which I was a bit unprepared for! Some days the temperature nearly reached 40 degrees!

Habitat

The country is divided into two topographical regions by the Zambezi River. North of the Zambezi River, the narrow coastal strip gives way to inland hills and low plateaus. In the west there are rugged highlands and the Makonde plateau which is covered with miombo woodlands. To the south of the Zambezi River, the lowlands are broader with the Mashonaland plateau and Lebombo Mountains located in the south. We spent much of our time in central Mozambique where we saw much degraded forest with areas of small plots of agricultural land being ploughed by bullocks. Very sadly we witnessed the devastation of logging activities without any replanting of the forests.

Daily Log

19th November

John and I left home and drove to Heathrow where we caught and overnight flight to Addis Ababa. This was not straight forward as we had messages from the Trailfinders office that the Foreign Office were advising against all travel to Ethiopia but as the airport at Addis is a major hub for Africa the airport itself fell into the ‘all but essential travel category’. We set off with great trepidation as we knew it wasn’t essential travel but were prepared to take the risk. By the end of our trip we were glad that we had chosen this route because had we transited through Johannesburg our flights would have been cancelled because of the unexpected red-listing that our government did to South Africa whilst we were away and they cancelled all flights leaving South Africa.

20th November

We caught an early morning flight from Addis Ababa to Blantyre in Malawi.

Malawi was very hot and sunny and we were glad of some fresh air. We watched Pied Crows cavorting around the airport along with House Sparrows but mostly watched the Wire-tailed Swallows that were flying around and landing on airport buildings. After a few hours we re-boarded the plane and set off for Beira in Mozambique.

Dylan met us at the airport and took us to our hotel by the beach in Beira. After a quick change and meeting up with some of the group we were soon on our way to Rio Maria marshes where we familiarised ourselves to some common African species. It was good to be back amongst Pied Kingfisher, African Jacana, Pygmy Goose, Yellow-billed Kite, Grey-headed Kingfisher, Woolley-necked Stork, Yellow-billed Stork and Sacred Ibis.

21st November

After the arrival of Simon last night we drove to the Rio Savanne flood plain where we pulled a rope across the grassland in the hope of seeing a few specialities. We watched African Pipit, Yellow-throated Longclaw and Quailfinch as well as admiring a few overhead raptors in the shape of Black-chested Snake Eagle, Brown Snake Eagle and Steppe Buzzard. All of a sudden a Black-rumped Buttonquail flew from the grass which we all enjoyed watching.

22nd November

We were up at 5am for a very quick short breakfast at Msika adding Hammerkop, Yellow-bellied Greenbul, African Fish Eagle, Tropical Boubou Black-backed Puffback and Amethyst Sunbird to our list before piling into the minibus for a 2 hour drive before a tea and coffee stop. The track after breakfast was a rough one as Dylan laboured with the minibus. Many birds were familiar to me as trip ticks were soon added. Black-capped Tchagra, Violet-backed Starling, White-crested Helmetshrike, Black-headed Oriole, Kurrichan Thrush and then a new bird for me of Green-backed Woodpecker.

Photography was challenging as although it was hot we were up high and we had misty conditions which as photographers know play havoc with the focus on lenses. We were in a heavily forested area too which meant there was little light but I kept persevering and was pleased with some of my photos. Overhead we watched Black Saw-wing, White-rumped Swift and African Black Swift. We came upon a scrubby area which produced; Red-faced Crombec, Red-faced Cisticola, African Firefinch and Burchell’s Coucal. Red-winged Prinia was another new bird for me as we watched Singing Cisticola and Variable Sunbird.

Birds came thick and fast as I struggled to write them all down, take photographs whilst keeping my eyes open for any new birds appearing.  A Cardinal Woodpecker drummed whilst a Bar-throated Apalis appeared at the same time as a Robert’s Warbler pair became very noisy but hiding in the roadside scrub. It took a while before we had all had satisfactory views. Life ticks were soon added as a Stripe-cheeked Greenbul hid as a White-eared Barbet showed well enough to have its photo taken. A White-crested Flycatcher added itself to my world list as did a Black-fronted Bushshrike. I was keen to see the Livingstone’s Turaco which we could hear calling. Seeing it was quite a different matter until we reached the top of the hill and out into an open area. We watched an Olive Bushshrike as well as Olive Sunbirds before making our way back down the hill to the bus and lunch.

23rd November

24th November

We stopped along the track and I took the opportunity of taking photos of African Paradise Flycatcher, Emerald Wood Dove, Grey Waxbill and Striped Pipit. Later a Cinnamon-breasted Bunting impeded our progress on the track.

We stopped further along the road by a bridge where down in the river the locals were washing clothes and the children having great fun in the searing heat. It was certainly one way to keep cool. We spotted African Firefinches and Simon spotted Red-throated Twinspots. John was delighted. It was a lifer for me. Wire-tailed Swallows were resting on a wooden structure.

25th November

We were up at 5am and after a quick drink we birded the grounds of our accommodation at Msika. My first world tick came in the shape of an Eastern Nicator which we saw after following it through some scrub. A Trumpeter Hornbill flew over as Purple-banded Sunbirds and a Yellow-breasted Apalis flitted around us. A Crowned Hornbill flew over as we neared the lake.

At the lake we added some more familiar African birds to our trip list and it was good to see them again. These included, African Darter, Three-banded Plover, Striated Heron, Water Thick-knee, and Spotted Thick-knee.

We spotted a distant raptor across the other side of the lake which was an African Cuckoo-hawk. I needed it as a lifer and was disappointed that it was so far away. However luck was on my side as a few minutes later as we rounded the corner, having been obscured by the trees, it was sat on top of a nearby tree. By the time we returned to the lodge we had added Bronze Mannikin, African Palm Swift and Southern Masked Weaver to the trip list.

After breakfast we loaded up the minibus and trailer and we started the long drive to Gorongosa. The pot-holed road and track to the park took some time but we stopped in the buffer zone to do some birding in the hot weather. We watched a delightful Black-backed Puffback displaying and watched a Speckled-throated Woodpecker as well as adding Grey-headed Bushshrike, Spotted Flycatcher, and Bearded Scrub Robin. Common Waxbill, Greater Honeyguide, African Hoopoe, Cuckoo, Black-crowned Tchagra and Golden Oriole were also seen.

We reached the entrance to the park where the covid hand washing facilities took some working out! But we all got it in the end!

We all relaxed and enjoyed ourselves as we watched Greater Kudu, Nyala, Oribi Common Warthog, Impala, Waterbuck and Hippopotamus on the plains and in the forest. Meanwhile many birds were added to the trip list including, Carmine Bee-eaters, European Bee-eater, Wattled Starling, Flappet Lark, Black-bellied Bustard, Grey Go-away-bird, Blacksmith’s Lapwing, Grey-crowned Crane, Jacobin Cuckoo, Grey Penduline Tit, Blue Waxbill, Lilac-breasted Roller and Moustached Grass Warbler.

We all enjoyed the game drive and Bruce and I enjoyed taking our photographs. A Green-winged Pytilia and Red-chested Cuckoo brought smiles to several faces as did a Blue-cheeked Bee-eater to mine. A Red-backed Shrike was quite shy as it tried to camouflage itself unsuccessfully. We returned to the campsite for late morning for some much-needed down time before setting off for another game drive at 4pm.

Down at the water’s edge a Hippopotamus made a run for the water as we admired a Saddle-billed Stork, Kittlitz’s Plover, Little Stint, African Spoonbill, Collared Pratincole, European Roller, Long-toed Lapwing and a Great White Pelican. I was fascinated by the congregation of African Skimmers. Bruce and I tried our best in failing light to photograph them actually skimming for food in the water. It wasn’t easy!

27th November

We were up at 4.20am, had our breakfast, packed up the minibus and trailer and left the campsite at 6am. We drove along the entrance track and birded in the buffer zone for a while. It was another beautiful morning with ideal conditions for photography. Bruce and I made the most of it as we took photos of African Hoopoe, Diederik-Cuckoo, Red-headed-Weaver and Retz’s Helmetshrike.

I had heard an enormous thud a few miles back but we had had quite a few thuds on the rough track. Now we realised that this thud was a bit different as not only had we lost a box off the trailer, the bolts holding the tow bar on had all lost their thread and could not keep the nuts in place. We were in danger of not being able to tow the trailer. Bruce had had the foresight to buy some more bolts earlier in the trip but they were not quite long enough and were made of steel that was too soft. He did a temporary fix and we limped our way to the next biggest settlement where we managed to obtain some second-hand bolts that did the trick. Phew....quite a relief!

28th November

We were up at 3.30 am and told to take something to lie on as we were going to have a nap in the hottest part of the day on the forest floor. With temperatures over 30 degrees in the middle part of the day we were going to need a rest after such an early start. John asked the bus to be brought to a halt as he had spotted a kingfisher. This turned out to be a good shout as it was a Mangrove Kingfisher, a world tick for most of us. 

The day had started well with 6 world ticks as I added Black-headed Apalis, Woodward’s Batis, Green Malkoha, East Coast Akalat, Lowland Tiny Greenbul as well as a trip ticks of a Black-bellied Starling. However it was the African Broadbill that I enjoyed watching so much as it was a displaying male that did a little dance on a horizontal branch. I was mesmerised by it. It was such a joy to watch.

By now the day was exceedingly hot and we laid our towels down on the ground and tried to have a nap on the forest floor. However ants had other ideas and I did not find the experience as restful as I would have liked! A Narina Trogon came and landed above our heads but I was too close for a decent photograph. We watched an Orange-breasted Bushshrike before spotting an African Barred Owlet which Bruce and I struggled to get a decent angle on without branches getting in the way. Dylan heard a Plain-backed Sunbird calling but seeing it was quite a different matter as we scrabbled through dense tangled vegetation before it flew yet again.

A Variable Sunbird in the same tree did not make things easy for us. Overhead Bohm’s Spinetails were flying around as we added a Crowned Eagle to our trip list on our return trip back to the lodge. We had seen some good birds today and we had all enjoyed our day.

The lodge put on an excellent supper and the ambiance was just perfect with a wonderful host as well. A few beers were very much enjoyed as well as yet more gin and tonics!

29th November

We were up at 4am and after a quick drink were in the bus for a drive around the local tracks stopping off at forest patches to search for the pitta without any luck at all. An African Hobby flew over us. Luckily I had turned around with Dylan and was looking the right way as a Green Twinspot flew in front of us landing in the scrub beside us. Sadly most of the group missed it. We also saw the Garden Warbler that was lurking inside the bush too. The Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher played hard to get but the Swallow-tailed Bee-eater posed beautifully as it kept flying around, catching insects to feed to its youngster sat beside it.

A Carmine Bee-eater also sat beautifully and posed for the camera. We continued driving along the tracks stopping if and when we saw a good bird and walking for a while in the heat. We took many photos today as the light was so good including: Chestnut-fronted-Helmetshrike, Golden-tailed-Woodpecker and Bearded-Scrub-Robin.

Dylan also spent some time with me trying to show me a technique for taking photos of fast flying birds such as the Bohm’s Spinetails that were flying above our heads. I had a go and took a lot of shots of empty sky but did manage a few where I actually had a bird in the photos, out of focus mainly but being a better digital camera and lens than I used to have with a much quicker response I had a few successful attempts.

30th November

We motored on our way along the rough track and stopped at a wetland area. It was a delightful stop as we enjoyed our breakfast that enabled us to wander at will taking photos and watching the birds. Here we added Comb Duck, Black Heron, Yellow Wagtail, Western Banded Snake Eagle, Orange-breasted Waxbill, European Honey Buzzard and Olive Tree Warbler which Dylan had heard and we investigated where it was calling from the other side of the wet area. It took a while to see it but eventually it showed well to us all.  I also took photographs of: African-Fish-Eagle, African Pipit and Wahlberg’s Eagle. It was just such a delightful spot to wander and enjoy the best of African birding. We watched the pools where Ruff and Wood Sandpipers were amongst the Black-winged Stilts too.

We loaded the minibus back up and continued on our way to the farm where although we had pre-arranged our visit the gate-keeper would not let us in. Dylan tried his best to explain but the chap was adamant that we were not going to pass. A few phone calls were made and a man on a motorbike was despatched whilst we sat it out. After quite a wait the gate was unlocked and we were let through as the owner of the farm appeared and welcomed us. Sugar-cane was being grown and the tall vegetation meant that we could not see very much. Dylan parked the van and we walked through some scrub to the banks of the Zambezi River. Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters were flying around but they were not our quarry and we returned to the minibus. We drove a bit further and got out again. Bohm’s Bee-eaters are not typical in that they don’t perch out in the open like other bee-eaters do and prefer to sit under the canopy of trees making them a bit more difficult to see. Dylan could hear them calling and eventually we spotted them.

We saw around ten Bohm’s Bee-eaters but could only find one with tail streamers. Other birds abounded here in the trees and it was good birding as we managed to find a little bit of shade in the searing heat that reached 38 degrees. White-fronted Bee-eater showed well as did a Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird that pleaded to have its photo taken. Klaas’s Cuckoo sat still whilst I took its photo whilst Common Swift and Long-billed Crombec added themselves to the trip list. I also took photos of Copper Sunbird and Brown-headed Parrot. We had our lunch and were glad of the cold drinks as we parked in the shade of the trees whilst bee-eaters flew around us.

After lunch we headed back along the track and back to M’Phingwe and the lodge. Later we drove the track the other side of the main road and walked some agricultural fields. How the locals laboured in the searing heat I do not know. The fields produced a Scarlet-chested Sunbird, Sombre Greenbul and House Sparrow for our trip list but little else. We were glad to return to the lodge for a cold drink but we had a fruitless evening trying to book a quarantine hotel with the limited internet that we had available. The UK government obviously doesn’t realise that not everywhere has internet in remote Mozambique! I felt sorry for our fellow travellers that had had their flights cancelled too!

1st December

We had an extremely early start this morning as we wanted to drive the tracks in the dark to search for nightjars. We flushed a European Nightjar and a female Pennant-winged Nightjar. As daylight came we visited areas that we had stopped in before but we were still out of luck for either hearing or seeing any pittas. It was clear that they simply had not arrived yet. We added Black Cuckoo to our lists and saw a cuckoo’s egg in a Bearded Scrub Robin’s nest. A Scaly-throated Honeyguide was a new world tick for me.

Once again it was extremely hot and the birds thought so too as they seemed to disappear. We decided to return to the lodge and have the afternoon to ourselves. I spent much of the afternoon trying to sort out John’s camera which had ceased to function. I managed to get it to work on a couple of settings but suspected that there was sand in the shutter mechanism somewhere.

After dark some of us drove back to the bridge where once again we flushed some European Nightjars but the night sky full of stars of the galaxy was something else! Amazing!

2nd December

After a cup of tea we walked around the camp grounds where we added Orange-winged Pytilia to the trip list. Suni and Duikers stood and watched us as we wandered around. After a short drive around we stopped at the waterhole where we had a very relaxing time sitting in chairs watching the animals come and go. Warthogs and Greater Kudu came in for a drink as did Tambourine Doves. We returned to the lodge for breakfast as we had to sort out PCR tests and passports in preparations for our return to the UK.

The day was extremely hot once again and after lunch we tried for the pitta once again. I think most of us had accepted that we were not going to see it by now. A huge disappointment for us all but we had enjoyed our birding and the beautiful birds we had seen. We kept trying though but returned to the lodge empty handed. We had a frustrating evening trying to book quarantine hotels but with the UK government website not accepting credit cards and with limited internet we were unsuccessful. Several hours were totally wasted!

3rd December

Today we were due to travel back to Beira and so after breakfast we loaded up the minibus and what was left of the trailer and bid goodbye to our lovely hosts at M’Phingwe and set off on a 200 km rough track. We hadn’t gone far when at Inhamitanga a Crested Francolin stood in the middle of the road. For the next 196 km Dylan battled with the rough track often getting behind logging lorries taking away much of the forest. It was a sorry sight to see all the hardwood trees disappearing with little replanting taking place. We stopped occasionally for drinks and lunch but settled back and enjoyed the scenery as well as having a bit of a doze. Fourteen kilometres short of Beira we stopped at Dondo as Etienne, whom I had met in South Africa many years ago, had found a Lesser Seedcracker that Dylan and Bruce needed for their Southern African lists. It was very hot as we added Jameson’s Firefinch and Red-headed Quelea, a lifer for me, to the trip list. An African Harrier Hawk and a Lizard Buzzard posed for a photograph whilst another Little Bee-eater did too, but we failed to find the seedcracker.

We spent the evening by the Pacific Ocean at a restaurant on the beach. Had it not been for the loud music (one of my pet hates) we could have heard the waves crashing on the sand. It was a shame that John and I chosen badly from the menu and ended up with a dreadful meal but I did enjoy the rather large gin and tonic.

4th December

We were up early once again and piled into the minibus for another try on the Rio Savanne Flood Plain. We stopped near a small bridge adding Red-breasted Swallow and Malachite Kingfisher to our lists. It was obviously going to be another very hot sunny day. I took photos of Croaking Cisticola and Fan-tailed Widowbird whilst Dylan, Simon and Bruce prepared the rope for another try at finding Blue Quail.

We drove the minibus a bit further and then dragged the rope over the long grass. It was very hot work and I left my camera behind. Bruce and Dylan were ahead and all of a sudden a pair of Blue Quail flew out from behind them. I yelled and most of us saw where the quail had landed. We ran to the spot as best we could but they did not reappear. Luckily John and I had had quite good views as the birds were still ahead of us and not behind as they were for the rest of the group. Overhead we watched a Purple Heron and a Yellow-billed Kite flying by. A Great Snipe was flushed and we watched a Mosque Swallow back near the minibus. We continued our walk and luckily found a pair of Locust Finch that fed on the ground in front of us. I cursed at not having my camera with me at that point as they posed very well.

We made our way back to the minibus and drove a little bit further on the track and stopped to take photographs of a flock of Senegal Lapwings. I also crept across the land to take a photograph of a Collared Pratincole that landed nearby. Dylan could hear Cuckoofinch calling but it took a while to discover where they had landed as we all disagreed. Luckily I spotted them in nearby trees and we all had good views. We also had a Palm Nut Vulture fly over too. It was now nearly 40 degrees and after watching a Plain-backed Pipit we found some shade and had our breakfast which we shared with some locals who had wandered by. We needed to get back to the hotel as a lab technician was coming to do out PCR tests ready for our flight home. Once back in the minibus, we stopped at a small pool where a Three-banded Plover was showing well along with a Kittlitz’s Plover.

5th December

We drove back out to Dondo to a small dam where we had stopped 2 days ago to give the seedcracker another go. A Marsh Warbler was singing as we arrived and Dylan thought he could hear the seedcracker. We shifted around to the back of all the bushes and saw the Lesser Seedcracker hiding deep in the vegetation. Getting a photograph was not easy. We were all so pleased for Dylan as he had worked so hard for us throughout the tour with so many covid-related issues and other major issues to contend with.  He took it all in his stride. On the way back to Beira we spotted a raptor at the top of a tree in the distance. I could not believe my luck when it was a Southern Banded Snake Eagle which had been a gap in my Southern African list for so long!

We returned back to the hotel to get our PCR test results which were all negative and completed passenger locator forms which took a long time to complete with limited internet from a hot spot from Dylan’s phone.  John and I bid farewell to the rest of the group who left at 11am. We thanked Dylan and had a wonderful stroll along the beach walking in the warm sea of the Pacific Ocean. Bliss! It had been a wonderful trip and we were glad to have managed some excellent birding in Africa once again with a wonderful group of people and a lovely leader.

6th December

After an early breakfast we were taken to the airport at Beira where after a lengthy check in due to electricity cuts, meaning computer failures, we eventually flew to Addis Ababa.  

7th December

We flew from Addis Ababa to Heathrow in London where after 12 hours from landing we found ourselves in a quarantine hotel where we eventually caught covid from the hotel staff!
