Brown Warbler as it is sometimes referred to is Remarkably plain brown warbler whose most outstanding features are a finely speckled throat and a white outer tail. Found in the canopy of acacia trees at middle or high elevations. Slow-moving and inconspicuous. Usually seen singly or in pairs.

We observed this bird last Saturday when Scott and I went birding Nairobi national park for a half a day which was quite successful.Other than the Brown Parisoma which I love always love to watch,we also managed to pick-up species like Hartlaub’s Turaco,Singing Cisticola,African Yellow Warbler,Red-throated Tit and Sulphur-breasted Bush-shrike just to name a few.

Other than Nairobi national park,this bird can be seen in Aberdare national park,Western escarpment of the Rift Valley and Masai Mara .Have a remarkable birding week!
