Black-billed Woodhoopoes predating White-browed Sparrow-weaver nests

There are3 ssp found in in Ethiopia. These are: Phoeniculus somaliensis somaliensis, Phoeniculus somaliensis neglectus & Phoeniculus somaliensis abyssinicus. I think these are P. s. neglectus although there is no great database to show where they appear; however we were in arid thorn scrub, in the Rift Valley in central Ethiopia. Generally P. s. s. is found in SE Ethiopia to w Somalia and ne Kenya (so if these are not P. s. n. they will be P. s. s.), & finally P. s .a. is generally ascribed to being found in N Ethiopia and Eritrea.
