Abstract: Out-of-range sightings of five bird species at the Alte Kalköfen Bird Observatory in southern Namibia are reported on here: Quail Finch Ortygospiza atricollis, Chestnut Weaver Ploceus rubiginosus, Green Woodhoopoe Phoeniculus purpureus, Emerald-spotted Wood Dove Turtur chalcospilos and African Cuckoo Cuculus gularis. These records emphasize the value of the Alte Kalköfen Bird Observatory and highlight the importance of systematic field work in southern Namibia.
