Grauer's Rush Warbler is a critically endangered and highly localized species found in the montane wetlands of Central Africa. It is a secretive bird that inhabits dense marshy vegetation.
Where to spot
High-altitude marshlands and bogs with dense vegetation in the Albertine Rift montane forests of Rwanda, Uganda, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Access to its habitat is often difficult and requires local guides. Listen carefully for its unique calls within the dense marshy vegetation, as visual observation is extremely challenging due to its skulking nature.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is resident, but access to its remote habitat may be seasonal. Early morning is the best time for vocalizations.
