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-backed Cisticola

The Black-backed Cisticola is a small, grassland-dwelling warbler found in the damp grassy areas and wetland margins of West and Central Africa. It has a black back with buff streaking and warm rufous tones on the head and wings. It perches atop grass stems, singing persistently, and feeds on insects and small seeds.
