Spotted
The Lazy Cisticola is an African species with a relatively plain, unstreaked plumage, known for its less active and more skulking behavior compared to many other cisticolas.
Where to spot
Found in East and Southern Africa. It inhabits dense scrub, rocky hillsides, and forest edges, often preferring drier habitats.
How to spot
Focus on rocky outcrops and dense scrub. Listen carefully for its less elaborate, often buzzing or scratchy song, as it tends to stay low in cover.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It can be challenging to observe due to its skulking habits, but early mornings might offer better chances of a sighting.

Its 'lazy' common name stems from its tendency to remain hidden in dense cover and its less energetic display flights, making it harder to spot.
