Distribution and habitat
Breeds across much of Eurasia, heading south in the
non-breeding season to parts of West Africa, Ethiopia south through Tanzania to
Malawi. There are have been a number of records of it in southern Africa, in
northern Namibia, Zimbabwe's eastern highlands and one from Johannesburg. It
prefers dense undergrowth in woodland, which may cause it to be under-recorded
in southern Africa, due to its unobtrusiveness.
