Spotted
The Abyssinian Warbler is a distinctive, rather thrush-like warbler with mottled brown plumage, a pale eyebrow, and a sturdy bill. It is known for its skulking behavior.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense undergrowth, thickets, and forest edges, particularly in highland areas, across parts of East Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its varied and often musical song, which is frequently heard from dense cover. Look for brief glimpses as it moves low to the ground.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active during the day, but often remains hidden.

Despite its name 'warbler,' it has a more robust build and behavior that often reminds observers of a catbird or a thrush, reflecting its unique position within the Sylviidae family.
