The moorland chat (''Cercomela sordida''), also known as the alpine chat or hill chat, is a species of songbird in the Old World flycatcher family. It is endemic to north-east Africa where it is common in its habitat. It lives at high altitudes on moors and grassland, usually above 3,400 m (11,100 ft), but can live as low as 2,100 m (6,900 ft).〔Birds of Africa south of the Sahara, Ian Sinclair and Peter Ryan (2003) Struik ISBN 1-86872-857-9〕 It has a short tail and long legs. It is bold and will approach people. The chat was first discovered on Mount Elgon on the Uganda-Kenya border by Jackson. Mackinder brought back the same bird from Mount Kenya in 1899.〔Thomas Holdich ''et al.'' (1900) ''A Journey to the Summit of Mount Kenya, British East Africa: Discussion'' The Geographical Journal 15(5) pp. 476–486〕 He presented a paper on the first ascent to the Royal Geographical Society in 1900. The scientific results of his expedition were discussed in detail afterwards. == References ==
