The Bangwa forest warbler or Bangwa scrub warbler (Bradypterus bangwaensis) is a species of Old World warbler in the family Locustellidae. It is native to the Cameroonian Highlands forests.
It is threatened by habitat loss.
It does not exhibit physical sexual dimorphism. [2]
It breeds in October and November. [2]
The males' characteristic song consists of repeating the same pitch at increasing volume. [2] Females sometimes duet with them by singing at decreasing pitches. [2] Females are not known to sing solo. [2]
Bangwa forest warblers sing more frequently in wet than dry season; this difference is especially pronounced in males. [2] The actual amount of precipitation has no effect on amount of singing. [2]
Their peak of vocal activity is during the first hour after sunrise. [2] Males have a second peak of vocal activity 11 hours after sunrise, but females do not. [2]
The function of their vocalizations is unknown. [2]
