Grey-backed Camaroptera

The Grey-backed Camaroptera, Camaroptera brachyura, is a small warbler. This bird is a resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara Desert.

This skulking passerine is typically found low in dense cover. The Grey-backed Camaroptera binds large leaves together low in a bush and builds a grass nest within the leaves. The normal clutch is two or three eggs.

These 11.5 cm long warblers have grey upperparts and a grey short cocked tail. The wings are olive and the underparts whitish grey. The sexes are similar, but juveniles are paler yellow on the breast.

Like most warblers, Grey-backed Camaroptera is insectivorous. The call is a whining sheee……sheee, and the song is a crisp twik twik twik twik twik
