A breeding resident. Occurs widely and is locally common across the Waterberg, less so in the surrounding thorn savanna (74% in, 26% out; recorded in 62% of the Waterberg pentads); frequents any woodland; occurs singly, in pairs or, at communal breeding sites, in groups; an unobtrusive bird, its presence is usually made known by the presence of its distinctively built nests which are often suspended from telephone wires, or sometimes under the eaves of houses; joins mixed-species bird parties in winter. Breeds in summer.
