Habitat

The Pale-crowned Cisticola favors the damp or marshy areas found within upland grasslands, where moisture nurtures a rich tapestry of life.

Distribution

This bird graces the African continent with its presence, ranging from the eastern reaches of South Africa to the verdant expanses of Gabon and Tanzania.

Conservation status

Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
