SYSTEMATIC LIST OF BIRDS:
This list follows the taxonomy, names and sequence of James F. Clements (July 1991, Birds of the World, A Check List and Supplements No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5).
This specific treatment follows Dr. Charles Sibley and Dr. Burt L. Monroe, Jr (1990, Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World, Yale University Press).
Species in brackets are the English names in "Birds of Eastern Africa” by Ber van Perlo, but only mentioned when these differ substantially from the Clements Check List.
The Dutch names follow the translated "Complete Checklist of Birds of the World" (Complete Checklist van Vogels van de Wereld) of Michael Walters.
Numbers quoted are estimates of the minimum numbers seen.
