Grauer's Warbler is a rather secretive and range-restricted warbler endemic to the montane forests of the Albertine Rift in Africa. Its subtle plumage makes it difficult to spot amidst dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Restricted to highland montane rainforests, dense undergrowth, and bamboo thickets within the Albertine Rift, primarily in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, western Uganda, and Rwanda.
How to spot
Observing Grauer's Warbler requires extreme patience and a keen ear. Focus on dense undergrowth in montane forests and listen for its distinctive, somewhat reedy song or sharp calls, which are often the first indication of its presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when birds may be more active, though patience is key due to their skulking nature.

This elusive species is considered vulnerable due to ongoing habitat degradation and fragmentation within its limited montane forest range in East Africa.
