Tristram's Warbler is a small, rather plain warbler with sandy-brown upperparts and a pale underside, closely related to the Desert Warbler. It is well-adapted to arid environments.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid and semi-arid scrub, wadis, and stony deserts across parts of North Africa.
How to spot
Look for its overall sandy coloration. Its song is a key differentiator from the Desert Warbler, often being shorter and less varied. Watch for it foraging low in scrub.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active in the early mornings and late afternoons.

This species was historically considered a subspecies of the Desert Warbler but is now recognized as distinct based on subtle differences in plumage, song, and genetics.
