Karoo Eremomela

Eremomela gregalis

The Karoo eremomela, scientifically known as Eremomela gregalis, is a small and sprightly bird species, once grouped with the "Old World warblers" but now classified within the family Cisticolidae. It is also colloquially referred to as the yellow-rumped eremomela, a nod to its distinctive coloring.

Identification Tips

This bird can be recognized by its modest size and the characteristic yellow patch on its rump, which contrasts with its otherwise subdued plumage. The precise markings and hues may vary, but this feature remains a reliable identifier.

Habitat

The Karoo eremomela is adapted to life in subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, where it finds the conditions most conducive to its survival.

Distribution

One can encounter this species in the arid expanses of Namibia and South Africa, where it has made a home in the succulent Karoo region.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Karoo eremomela as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, the species does not face an immediate threat of extinction in the wild.

Gets me outdoors more
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.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Easy to use and accurate
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!

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Work together with community
Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

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! 🐦

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.
