Angolan Batis

Batis perkeo

The Angolan Batis (Batis perkeo) is a small passerine bird found in Angola and Namibia. It is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a black crown and white underparts. This species is known for its agile and acrobatic foraging behavior, often catching insects on the wing. The Angolan Batis inhabits dense woodlands and forest edges, where it can be observed flitting among the branches in search of prey. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and degradation in its range may pose future conservation challenges for this species.
