Black-capped Warbler

Sylvia nigricapillus

The Black-capped Warbler (Sylvia nigricapillus) is a small passerine bird found in the montane forests of East Africa. It is characterized by its striking black cap and bright yellow underparts. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard as it forages for insects in the dense undergrowth. The Black-capped Warbler is a highly active and agile bird, often seen flitting from branch to branch in search of food. It is known to form small mixed-species flocks during the non-breeding season, and is generally a shy and elusive bird.
