- Cisticola juncidis
Description
A small Warbler often seen only as a fleeting glimpse as it is a very active little bird. Sandy coloured with a dark sreaked head and back.
Identification
aka Fan-tailed Warbler. Photo taken: Calabria, Italy
Song flight/range
The male has a most distinctive song-flight. It flies in circles about 20 ft above the ground, undulating considerably. At the top of each arc it gives a sort of 'zit' note. It is not particularly skulking for a warbler and can sometimes be seen flitting about, low in grassy places. The bird's range is considerably wider than the Mediterranean region, as it occurs in India.
