About These Birds

Archer's Robin-chat

Archer's Robin-chat is a medium-sized robin-chat from the Horn of Africa, weighing about 23 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It inhabits dense scrub and thickets in arid and semi-arid environments, typically remaining well-hidden within vegetation. Like other robin-chats, it forages for insects on or near the ground and delivers a melodious song.

African Dusky Flycatcher

The African Dusky Flycatcher weighs about 11g and is found in montane forests of sub-Saharan Africa. It perches quietly on low branches and makes short aerial sallies to catch insects.
