There are several other significant sites. The best are Mashoza Forest and Ibanda Makera Forest. These are small but significant remnants of riverine forest in the east of Rwanda. Although small these are important forests for birds and still support interesting species including Purple-crested Turaco, Mountain Illadopsis, Grey-winged Robin-Chat; Snowy-crowned Robin-Chat, Red-Headed Bluebill and Red-throated (Peter's) Twinspot.
