Ayres's Flufftail is one of the world's most critically endangered and enigmatic birds, found in highly restricted montane wetlands in parts of eastern and southern Africa. Its population is tiny and highly localized.
Where to spot
High-altitude marshes, bogs, and sedge wetlands, primarily in Ethiopia and southern Africa. Its exact distribution and movements are still poorly understood.
How to spot
Requires specialized surveys, extensive local knowledge, and conservation efforts. For general observers, it's exceptionally unlikely to be seen without specific research-led expeditions.
When to spot
Extremely difficult to observe. Most records come from mist-netting or opportunistic sightings during the breeding season when they might be more vocal.

Despite being one of the smallest African birds, its incredible rarity and specialized habitat make it a holy grail for many birdwatchers, with very few confirmed sightings in the wild.
