Green-capped Eremomela

Eremomela scotops

The Green-capped Eremomela, or Greencap Eremomela, is a charming avian species that was once grouped with the "Old World warblers" but has since found its rightful place within the family Cisticolidae. This bird is scientifically known as Eremomela scotops, a name given to it in the year 1850 by Sundevall.

Identification Tips

When seeking the Green-capped Eremomela, one should look for its distinctive green cap, which serves as a vivid contrast to its otherwise subdued plumage. The bird's appearance may vary slightly across its range, with five accepted races exhibiting subtle differences in coloration and markings.

Habitat

The natural habitats of this species are the subtropical or tropical dry forests and the arid expanses of the dry savanna. These environments provide the Green-capped Eremomela with the necessary cover and resources for its survival.

Distribution

The Green-capped Eremomela graces a wide range of African landscapes, from Angola to Zimbabwe, including Botswana, Burundi, Congo, DRC, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Green-capped Eremomela as being of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This status indicates that, for now, the species does not face an immediate threat of extinction in the wild.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.
