About These Birds
Black-headed Apalis
The Black-headed Apalis is a slim, active warbler with a distinctive all-black head contrasting sharply with its white underparts and olive-green back. It is endemic to coastal forests and dense thickets of East Africa, primarily in Kenya and Tanzania, inhabiting forest edges and secondary growth. It forages through the foliage gleaning small insects and spiders, often in pairs or mixed-species flocks.
Annam Prinia
The Annam Prinia is a small warbler-like bird in the Cisticolidae family, weighing around 15 grams. Found in the Annam region, this passerine inhabits dense scrub and grassland edges. Its compact size and secretive habits make it a challenging bird to observe in the field.
