Cisticola subruficapilla
Grey-backed Cisticolas are found only in the southwest of South Africa (Eastern, Northern and Western Cape and southern Free State) and in Namibia. It inhabits the Fynbos and Karoo biomes, living on insects snatched from the ground or from leaves. They’re commonly encountered either singly, in pairs or small family groups.
Grey-backed Cisticolas form monogamous, territorial pairs and breed from mid-winter to summer. They build ball-shaped nests with a side-entrance, usually placed low in a shrub and often incorporating parts of it in the construction. Clutches of 2-5 eggs are incubated for about two weeks, with the chicks leaving the nest a similar length of time after hatching. Fully grown they weigh about 11g and measure around 12cm in length.
The IUCN assessed the Grey-backed Cisticola as being of least concern.

Net 11g! Tog so klein (en kyk net die ou dun beentjies). Mooi foto’s!
As mens “tinktinkie” hoor dan dink jy klein en fyn, en hierdie enetjie doen beslis die naam gestand.
I agree with Scrapydo! Your header photograph is wonderful.
Thank you very much, Anne!
Cute little thing.
Oh definitely, Janet. And very busy and noisy!
Wow, jul is gelukkig om die outjie so mooi in die lens te kry. Baie interessant. Baie dankie weereens vir die fotos en inligting. Jy kan omtrent al jou eie boek saamstel en uitgee.
Dit is baie gaaf van jou, Ineke. Nog so paar jare ons land deurkruis en dan word die boek dalk n werklikheid!
Klink goed. Gelukkig het jy al die fotos benoem so dit gaan makliker wees om beste voorbeelde te kan vind. Hou duime vas vir daardie boek.
