Where to spot

How to spot
Listen carefully for its distinct song, which is crucial for distinguishing it from similar cisticolas in the same habitat. Visual identification can be challenging.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is best observed during the breeding season when males are more vocal and perform display flights.
