Golden-headed Cisticola

Golden-headed Cisticola

Golden-headed Citicolas are sometimes not easy to see, and challenging to photograph. Their preferred habitat in Australia is in long grass, reeds and tussocks in swampy areas near water. From time to time they will fly high up into the air and then glide down to the safety of cover again.

With the bird shown in the photograph above, I was lucky that it posed out in the open in full sunlight for long enough for me to zoom in and shoot it.
