About These Birds

Bamboo Warbler

The Bamboo Warbler is a small warbler found in bamboo and tall grass habitats in the mountains of East Africa, weighing about 15.75g. It is secretive and skulking in behavior, more often heard than seen in its dense habitat. Like other Locustella warblers it feeds on insects gleaned from low vegetation.

Bicol Ground-warbler

The Bicol Ground-warbler is a near-threatened, terrestrial warbler endemic to the Bicol Peninsula of Luzon, Philippines. It has plain brown plumage and forages on the forest floor for insects and other invertebrates. Its restricted range and dependence on lowland forest make it vulnerable to deforestation.
