April 21, 2023 - Northern Crombec (Sylvietta brachyura) Found across much of central Africa, these African warblers live in open wooded habitats. They eat invertebrates, including their eggs and larvae, foraging in trees and shrubs, alone or in pairs or family groups, and often joining mixed-species flocks. They build deep pocket-shaped nests from plant stems, grasses, fibers, spiderwebs, fine rootlets, grass heads, cocoons, and small seeds, suspended by spiderweb from twigs of bushes or trees.
