About These Birds
Black-headed Apalis
The Black-headed Apalis is a slim, active warbler with a distinctive all-black head contrasting sharply with its white underparts and olive-green back. It is endemic to coastal forests and dense thickets of East Africa, primarily in Kenya and Tanzania, inhabiting forest edges and secondary growth. It forages through the foliage gleaning small insects and spiders, often in pairs or mixed-species flocks.
Black-chested Prinia
The Black-chested Prinia is a small, warbler-like bird of sub-Saharan southern Africa, with a distinctive black breast band in breeding plumage, grey upperparts, and whitish underparts. It inhabits dry thorn scrub, open woodland, and grassland with scattered bushes in Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and adjacent countries. It feeds on small insects and spiders, gleaning them from foliage.
