Least Concern

The Cape Wagtail is a wagtail, pipit, or longclaw of sub-Saharan African forests, savannas, wetlands, and highlands. It forages actively on the ground or along water edges for insects, seeds, and small invertebrates, and many species undertake long seasonal movements between northern breeding grounds and warmer winter habitats.
