Beskrivelse: <i>Turdoides hindei</i> occurs only in central Kenya. Its range is centred on the foothills of the Aberdares and Mt Kenya, at Mukurweini and Kianyaga respectively, with an outlying population at Meru National Park and the adjacent Nyambeni Hills to the north, Machakos to the south, and Kitui to the south-east (Plumb 1979, Turner 1992, Njoroge and Mutinda 1996, Njoroge et al. 1998, P. Njoroge in litt. 1999, Bennun and Njoroge 1999, Njoroge and Bennun 2000, P. Shaw in litt. 2005, P. Shaw in litt. 2007). Surveys at the six main sites during 1994 and 2000-2001 yielded a minimum population of 665 birds in 157 groups (Shaw et al. 2003, Kamiti 2003, P. Shaw in litt. 2005), with about 77% of these found in the core areas of Mukurweini, Kianyaga and Mwea (Shaw and Musina 2003a, Kamiti 2003). The overall population is estimated to be towards the lower end of 1,500-5,600 individuals (Shaw et al. 2003). There have been no broad-scale estimates of population trend but, given the c. 30-52% contraction in its area of occupancy evident since the mid-1900s (Shaw et al. 2003), its population has almost certainly decreased in the past 30-40 years (P. Shaw in litt. 2005). Ref: Birdlife International species factsheet (http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=7970)
