The Sennar Penduline-tit is a very small bird of arid and semi-arid regions in northeastern Africa, known for its intricate nest and foraging habits. It is often found in acacia scrub.
Where to spot
Arid acacia and thornbush savannas and scrubland across parts of northeastern Africa, including Sudan and Ethiopia.
