Yellow-browed Camaroptera Camaroptera superciliaris

May 2011

The Yellow-browed Camaroptera is a member of the Cisticola family and is distributed in Africa from Sierra Leone to Uganda and south into the Congo. See the distribution map at Birdlife International.

It is found in the dense understorey of gallery forest and forest edges but is scarce in primary forest. It is also found in more open areas such as farm bush. It feeds mainly on insects such as grasshoppers and caterpillars.

It is olive-green above and grey below with yellow undertail coverts. The tail is short and the bill is long and black with a pale tip. It has bright yellow ear-coverts and supercilium with a dark line through the eyes and lores.

The song is a curious double or triple nasal note.
