Zitting Cisticola

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Zitting Cisticola or Streaked Fantail Warbler[2] (Cisticola juncidis), is an Old World warbler in the genus Cisticola. This genus is sometimes split off with various other southern warbler genera and given family status as the Cisticolidae. This species was previously known as Fan-tailed Warbler , but the current name gives consistency with the many tropical cisticola species.
This was taken near Hessargatta last Sunday when we went searching for some Raptors.
It has a very wide breeding range including southern Europe, Africa outside the deserts and rainforest, and southern Asia down to northern Australia. It is mainly resident, but some East Asian populations migrate south to winter in warmer areas. |
