MOULT RECORDS FOR TROPICAL BIRD SPECIES TRAPPED IN ANGOLA

Abstract

Between 21and 27 July 2015, a total of 43 birds of 15 species were caught with mist nets at Kissikina, Malange, Angola. Thirty-two of those, of 11 different species, were moulting primaries and their moult was recorded. In this note we present the data collected hoping to add some information on the moult patterns of these species in this part of the world.
