Where to spot
Found in East and Central Africa. It inhabits grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for the subtle streaking on the breast if visible, and listen for its distinctive song, which helps differentiate it from other similar-looking cisticolas in its range.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most active and vocal during the breeding season.
The subtle streaking on its breast is often more visible in some subspecies or individuals, giving it its descriptive common name.
