 It was always in large flocks, and frequented the reeds and 

 long grasses on river-banks in open parts of the country.

This bird seems to replace A. rubriceps west of the 

 Mchinga Escarpment. It is, however, much scarcer, and 

 always seems to form one of a " bird-party " : it is the only 

 member of the Ploceidse that I have observed to do so.
