| Abstract: | In spring 2000, a male Zitting Cisticola C. juncidis was observed apparently attempting to set up territory in Fleur de Lys, a highly urbanised area which is entirely built up. The bird spent long periods in private gardens and singing in flight above the rooftops. This behaviour increased steadily from one to twenty song flights during the period 9 to 22 May, after which there was an observation of three song flights on 23 May. Thereafter the bird was not heard singing in the area. |
