The Cape Robin, as it is commonly called, or Cossypha caffra, is probably South Africa's best known and best loved garden bird. It does no harm at all to crops, as its diet consists entirely of insects. But it's not really a robin at all, in South Africa it is a chat. The Cape Robin is found throughout South Africa and is a frequent visitorto gardens.
