Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial

Ecology: Its original habitat was probably scrub on mountain slopes and reedbeds in valleys1. It is now found in a broad range of habitats up to 500 m (though mostly lower) including well-vegetated valleys (especially with patches of reeds), reedbeds, woodland, agricultural areas, and gardens in villages and small towns, notably near running water2. On São Nicolau, it inhabits small, dense stands of cane Arundo donax along dry riverbeds, often with shrubs and fruit trees5. It breeds mainly August-November, but the breeding season may be extended in response to local rainfall2.[1]
