The Streaked Scrub Warbler is a small, restless bird with a distinctive upright tail, streaked brown plumage, and a pale supercilium. It is typically found in arid scrublands.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid scrublands, rocky hillsides, and wadis, across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic cocked tail and streaked plumage. Listen for its loud, far-carrying song, often a rapid, rattling trill, which is key to finding it in its sparse habitat.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, often singing from prominent perches.

Despite its scientific name 'inquieta' (meaning restless), its constant movements are not a sign of distress but rather its active foraging strategy in open, shrubby habitats.
