Pale-crowned Cisticola

Cisticola cinnamomeus

The Pale-crowned Cisticola, or Cisticola cinnamomeus, presents itself as a charming bird with a modest yet distinctive appearance, belonging to the Cisticolidae family.

Identification Tips

This species can be identified by its pale crown, which contrasts with its warmer, cinnamon-colored body. It is a small bird, typical of the Cisticola genus, with a stature that does not command attention but rather invites a closer look to appreciate its subtle beauty.

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

The Pale-crowned Cisticola is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating that, for now, this species enjoys a stable existence within its natural range.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Fantastic App
This is a really lovely app, for everyone interested in birds - from newbies to old hands. There is a very friendly feel to the community and you will genuinely learn a lot as you record your sightings and photos. There are lots of badges and competitions to keep you engaged, and a host of really useful features.

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦
