Whitewinged Widow
Euplectes albonotatus

Habits: Gregarious in small flocks, often in company with other Euplectes species (Widows and Bishops) even when breeding. Male displays from perch by singing with tail conspicuously fanned. Flight rather slow with rapidly fluttering wings, showing yellow and white flashes. Forages on groung and on standing plants.
Food: Seeds, grain, insects, nectar of aloes.

Saw a few this week, notably from the Lower Sabie tearoom area, looking at the reeds.
