About the Cape Robin:
This pretty little bird is a good mimic, and can imitate the calls of over 20 other birds. It is generally common in South Africa, but is scarce in this area. It keeps mostly to dense undergrowth, and is thus more often heard than seen on the Trail. It feeds on insects, spiders, worms, small frogs and fruit. It breeds during spring in the east Cape. The nest is built by the females, who lay a clutch of 2 to 3 eggs in it.
