Spotted
The Large-billed Reed Warbler is one of the world's most mysterious and elusive birds, known from only a handful of specimens and recent sightings. Its biology remains largely unknown.
Where to spot
Historically known from a specimen in India; rediscovered wintering in wetlands in Thailand. Its breeding grounds are still largely unknown but are presumed to be in high-altitude wetlands of central Asia.
How to spot
Observing this species requires extreme dedication, vast luck, and often participation in specific research expeditions. Look in dense, remote reedbeds and marshy areas, and be prepared for extensive searching.
When to spot
Extremely rare and opportunistic. The few recent sightings have occurred during the non-breeding season (winter) in its known wintering grounds. Observation is highly unlikely.
