Wattle-eyes (W)
From WikiBird
The wattle-eyes or puffback flycatchers are small stout passerine birds of the African tropics. They were previously classed as a subfamily of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.
They get their name from the brightly coloured fleshy eye decorations found in most species in this group.
These insect-eating birds are found in usually open forests or bush. They hunt by flycatching, or by taking prey from the ground like a shrike. The nest is a small neat cup low in a tree or bush.
