Spotted
The Little Rush Warbler is a small, often elusive, warbler found across a wide range of sub-Saharan Africa. It typically inhabits dense wetland vegetation, where its presence is often given away by its distinctive calls.
Where to spot
Reedbeds, papyrus swamps, marshy areas, and dense waterside vegetation across much of sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its buzzing or rasping song emanating from dense reeds. Patience is key, as it stays hidden. Look for brief movements on top of vegetation, especially when calling.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species. Most active and vocal in the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its widespread distribution, its reclusive nature and preference for dense reedbeds make it a challenging bird for even experienced birders to get a clear view of.
