Spotted
The Black-faced Cisticola is an African species characterized by a distinct black lore (area between the eye and bill), contrasting with its greyish plumage.
Where to spot
Found in Central Africa, specifically mountainous regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It inhabits montane grasslands and scrub.
How to spot
Look for the black lore and plain greyish plumage. Listen for its calls, which can help in locating this often elusive bird in dense vegetation.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most vocal during the breeding season, when males are actively defending territories.
The extent and intensity of the black on its face can vary subtly between different populations, adding a layer of complexity to identification.
