The Greater Swamp Warbler is a large and robust African warbler, typically found in extensive reedbeds and papyrus swamps. It is often quite vocal, especially during the breeding season.
Where to spot
Widespread in suitable wetland habitats across sub-Saharan Africa, including large reedbeds, papyrus swamps, and dense aquatic vegetation along rivers and lakes.
How to spot
Focus on large, dense wetland areas. Listen for its loud, often rapid, and somewhat harsh song, which is typically delivered from within or atop dense vegetation. Binoculars are useful for views.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal in the mornings and evenings, and particularly during the breeding season when males sing frequently.
