Afrikaans
'n Klein, bleekbruin gestreepte voëltjie, baie soortgelyk aan die Landeryklopkloppie. Dit eet klein insekte.
Waar by die skool? Kyk in kort gras en droë oop veld.
Wil jy weet? Die mannetjie klap sy vlerke hard terwyl hy vlieg – "klop-klop" – daarom heet dit 'n klopkloppie.
English
A small, pale brown streaky bird, very similar to the Zitting Cisticola. It eats small insects.
Where at school? Look in short grass and dry open veld.
Did you know? The male snaps his wings loudly while flying – which is why it is called "klopkloppie" in Afrikaans.
