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.

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.
