Yellow-breasted Apalis
Geelborskleinjantjie · Apalis flavida
A dainty, long-tailed warbler with a grey head, green back and a clean yellow breast, sometimes with a small dark spot. It is constantly on the move, flitting and twisting through the canopy and outer foliage in search of small insects. Pairs keep contact with a fast, buzzy duet, and the bird is heard far more often than it is clearly seen.
