About These Birds

Black-faced Rufous-warbler

The Black-faced Rufous-warbler is a small, secretive warbler with rich rufous-brown upperparts and a striking black face and throat, making it one of the more distinctively marked African warblers. It inhabits dense montane forest undergrowth and bamboo thickets in east-central Africa, particularly in the Albertine Rift region. It forages skulkingly close to the ground, searching leaf litter and dense vegetation for small insects.

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.
