The Highland Rush Warbler is a secretive species of warbler inhabiting moist montane grasslands and dense undergrowth in East and Central Africa. Its plain appearance belies its elusive nature.
Where to spot
Moist montane grasslands, bamboo forests, forest edges, and dense scrub at high altitudes across parts of East and Central Africa.
How to spot
Like many bush warblers, it is more often heard than seen. Listen for its song from dense cover and look for brief glimpses as it moves quickly through vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is resident. It is most active and vocal during the early morning.
