Spotted
The Bubbling Cisticola is an African species named for its unique vocalizations, which include distinctive bubbling and gurgling notes. It inhabits moist grasslands.
Where to spot
Found in Central Africa, in countries such as Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It inhabits moist grasslands, marshy areas, and savannas.
How to spot
Listen for its diagnostic bubbling song. Look for it in taller grasses, where it often perches conspicuously to sing, though it can be elusive in dense cover.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most vocal during the breeding season, when males are actively territorial.
Its 'bubbling' song is highly distinctive and helps differentiate it immediately from other cisticolas in its range, making it easily identifiable by sound.
