About These Birds

Black-lored Cisticola

The Black-lored Cisticola is a small, skulking warbler with streaked brown and buff plumage and small black patches on the lores. It inhabits tall grass, bracken fern, and forest-edge vegetation in the montane areas of the Albertine Rift in east-central Africa. It feeds on small insects and seeds, creeping through dense grass stems in the manner typical of cisticolas.

Annam Prinia

The Annam Prinia is a small warbler-like bird in the Cisticolidae family, weighing around 15 grams. Found in the Annam region, this passerine inhabits dense scrub and grassland edges. Its compact size and secretive habits make it a challenging bird to observe in the field.
