Spotted
A small, short-tailed warbler, distinguished by its relatively long and slender bill compared to other crombecs. Its plumage is generally greyish-brown above and paler below.
Where to spot
Savanna woodlands, dry forests, and scrubland across a wide range of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in southern and eastern parts.
How to spot
Look for its proportionally longer bill and active foraging style, often inspecting bark and dense foliage. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated, trilling or churring calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the mornings when it is actively foraging. Breeding typically occurs during the local rainy season.
