The Kalahari Scrub Robin is a small, terrestrial bird native to the dry scrublands of southern Africa. It possesses a subtle brown plumage, distinguished by a noticeable pale supercilium and a rufous tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to Southern Africa, primarily found in the Kalahari Desert, dry savannas, and shrublands of Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.
How to spot
Look for it hopping on the ground or in low bushes. Its habit of fanning its rufous tail is a key diagnostic feature, especially when it's alarmed. Its loud, varied song is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
A year-round resident species. It is most readily observed and heard during the breeding season, which typically occurs during the warmer, wetter months, when males are actively singing.
