White-tailed Warbler

Sylvietta whytii

The White-tailed Warbler (Sylvietta whytii) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the woodlands and savannas of eastern Africa. This warbler is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinct white tail. It forages for insects and spiders in the dense vegetation, often flicking its tail while moving through the foliage. The species is known for its melodious and repetitive song, which is often heard during the breeding season. White-tailed Warblers are generally secretive and can be difficult to observe due to their elusive nature and preference for dense cover.
