Not yet spotted on Fladder

The Many-colored Rush Tyrant is a spectacularly vibrant small bird, aptly named for its diverse plumage and preference for reedy marsh habitats.

Where to spot

Reedy marshes and wetlands in southern South America, particularly in parts of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil.

How to spot

Look for its bright, multi-colored plumage (yellow, blue, black, white, red). Scan dense marsh vegetation near water. They often perch conspicuously on reed stems.

When to spot

Year-round in its range, but often most visible during the breeding season (spring/summer in the Southern Hemisphere) when they are more active and vocal.
