About These Birds

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.

Black-headed Tailorbird

The Black-headed Tailorbird is a small, active warbler with a distinctive black crown, olive-green upperparts, and pale underparts, distinguished from most tailorbirds by its striking dark head. It is endemic to the Philippines, inhabiting the undergrowth and edges of lowland and foothill forests on several islands. Like other tailorbirds, it stitches large leaves together with plant fibers to create a cup-shaped nest.
