Heuglin's Pencluline Tit inhabits Central Africa from the 

 Albert Nyanza to the Gazal river. 



Bmin has collected specimens to the north of Albert 

 Nyanza at Redjaf and Kiri. According to von Heuglin it is 

 found, as a rare bird, in the forest of Bongo and along the 

 banks of the Gazal river in flocks of three to six individuals. 

 It is silent but active, constantly flitting with outstretched 

 wings from bough to bough in the manner of our warblers, 

 and is often to be met with in company with such birds as well 

 as with the White-eyes hunting, like them, for insects especially 

 caterpillars, and he once found a party of them huddled 

 together on a horizontal bough, sheltering themselves from 

 the cold.
