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.
