About the White browed Scrub Robin
The white-browed scrub robin is a small African robin-like bird commonly found in dry woodland, savanna, scrub and areas with dense undergrowth. It has brown upperparts, pale underparts and a conspicuous white eyebrow or supercilium. It spends much of its time close to the ground, where it searches through leaf litter and vegetation for insects and other small invertebrates. It is generally solitary or found in pairs and can be difficult to spot despite its distinctive calls.
