Spotted
The Robust Cisticola is a large and stout cisticola species found in montane grasslands of East Africa, characterized by its relatively strong build and streaked plumage.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, specifically in high-altitude montane grasslands and moorlands in Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya.
How to spot
Look for its larger size compared to other cisticolas. Listen for its distinctive, often harsh or rattling song, delivered from a prominent perch or in flight.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most active and vocal during the rainy season, which typically corresponds with its breeding period.
As one of the larger cisticolas, its more robust and substantial appearance can aid in identification in the field, setting it apart from smaller relatives.
