Spotted
The Ashy Cisticola is an East African species with a plain, ash-grey plumage, lacking the distinct streaking found in many other cisticolas. It prefers arid scrub.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, primarily Ethiopia and Somalia. It inhabits dry thornbush, arid scrubland, and semi-desert.
How to spot
Look for its plain, uniform ash-grey plumage. It often stays low in thorny bushes, so patience and listening for its calls are important.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is active during the cooler parts of the day, especially early mornings.
Its unstreaked, uniformly grey appearance is a key identification feature among the diverse and often confusing Cisticola genus.
