A breeding resident. Occurs widely but sparsely across the hilly and mountainous parts of the Waterberg; it is essentially absent from the surrounding thorn savanna (97% in, 3% out; recorded in 17% of the Waterberg pentads); occurs singly or in pairs and is restricted to grassy vleis, grass- or sedge-fringed margins of streams and areas of dense bracken (Pteridium); a skulking species, its presence is mostly detected from hearing its jumbled musical warbling song. Breeds in summer.
