Spotted
The Tana River Cisticola is a highly localized and endangered African species, found only in specific riverine habitats. It is identified by its subtle plumage and unique calls.
Where to spot
Endemic to East Africa, specifically the lower Tana River basin in Kenya. It inhabits riverine forests and dense scrub.
How to spot
Focus on the specific Tana River habitat. Listen carefully for its calls, as visual identification can be challenging given its rarity and elusive nature. Support conservation efforts.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Due to its rarity, any observation is significant. Best times might be early morning when it is most active.
This cisticola is critically endangered due to ongoing habitat loss within its extremely restricted range along the Tana River, making every sighting important.
