Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: This insectivorous
species is present throughout forest
on Mt
Karthala over a wide altitudinal range2. It is limited to areas with remaining tall trees
but seems tolerant
of shrubby, cultivated or open areas in the forest - it has even been observed in pure Philippia tree-heath above the forest belt2. The only known nest
was a cup
in the upper branches of a 12-15 m
high tree in pioneer woodland where at least two young were seen1.[1]
