This medium-sized warbler is characterized by its rufous-brown plumage and secretive nature. It prefers dense, often damp, undergrowth in montane regions across sub-Saharan Africa.
Where to spot
Montane bracken and bramble thickets, forest clearings, marshy areas, and damp grasslands with dense cover across parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Focus on listening for its loud, distinctive song, often given from dense cover. Patience is required for a visual sighting as it typically stays well hidden within vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident. Best observed by sound, especially at dawn and dusk when it is most vocal.
