Yellow-fronted Canary
Geeloogkanarie · Crithagra mozambica
A small, sprightly canary, bright yellow below and greenish above with a grey crown, a yellow eyebrow and neat black moustache stripes on the face. It feeds on seeds and buds, often in small parties on the ground or in grass heads. The lively, jingling song is delivered from a perch and is a familiar cheerful sound in woodland and camps.
