About These Birds

Black-fronted Bushshrike

The Black-fronted Bushshrike is a colorful bushshrike with bright green upperparts, a yellow and red underside, and a distinctive black forehead and face. It inhabits dense thickets, undergrowth, and forest edges in the miombo woodlands of east-central Africa, ranging from Kenya to Zimbabwe. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, hunting from within dense cover and rarely venturing into the open.

Black-backed Puffback

The Black-backed Puffback is a medium-sized shrike-like bird of woodland, bush, and garden habitats across eastern and southern Africa. Males are glossy black above and white below, and during display, the male erects his white rump feathers into a fluffy puff-ball. It feeds on insects gleaned from foliage and bark.
