Chinspot Batis

Batis molitor

The Chinspot Batis is a small passerine bird found in southern Africa. It is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a small chinspot marking on the throat. These birds are often found in woodland and savanna habitats, where they forage for insects by gleaning from foliage or catching them in mid-air. They are known for their agile and acrobatic flight patterns. The Chinspot Batis is a monogamous species, and pairs often engage in duets as part of their courtship and territorial displays.
