About These Birds
Black-necked Wattle-eye
The Black-necked Wattle-eye is a small, colorful flycatcher with blue-black upperparts, a distinctive black neck collar, and a bright red wattle above the eye in the male. It inhabits the understorey of lowland and montane rainforests in west-central Africa, from Nigeria east to Uganda and south to Angola. It forages by making short sallying flights to snatch insects from foliage and the air.
