Spotted
The Tiny Cisticola is one of the smallest cisticola species in Africa, characterized by its plain, unstreaked plumage and diminutive size. It prefers dry scrub.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, including Kenya and Tanzania. It inhabits dry thornbush, arid scrub, and semi-desert areas.
How to spot
Look for its diminutive size and plain plumage. Listen for its high-pitched, often buzzy calls. It often forages low in thorny bushes, requiring patience.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is active during the cooler parts of the day, such as mornings and evenings.
Its extremely small size is a key identifying feature, making it a true 'tiny' bird and one of the smallest passerines in its range.
