White Throated Robin Chat
Click here to view the precise sighting location that GoBundu saw a White Throated Robin Chat:
The White Throated Robin Chat was seen on Makana Beach Estate in Ponta Mamoli, Southern Mozambique. Other birds viewed in this spot was
Burchells Coucal
Fork Tailed Drone
The only robin in the region with a white wing bar, throat, and breast. The rufous tail with a dark centre also differs from the tails of other robin-chats in having black tips to all the feathers. Usually seen as it dashes for cover, it gives the impression of being a small, black and white bird with a red tail.
Habitat: Dry thorn veld, thickets and riverine scrub.
Status: Common, endemic.
Call: Alarm call a repeat seet-cher, seet-cher’; song an attractive medley of whistled phrases incorporating much micro of other birds calls.
Happy Birding
