The Marsh Grassbird is an East Asian species typically found in extensive reedbeds and tall grasslands. It is a secretive bird, more often heard than seen.
Where to spot
Found in eastern Asia, particularly Japan and parts of China, inhabiting extensive reedbeds, marshes, and tall wet grasslands.
How to spot
Focus on dense reedbeds and marshy areas. Listen for its unusual, often mechanical or frog-like calls. It tends to stay deep within cover, so patience is needed for a visual.
When to spot
Year-round resident in some areas, partially migratory in others. Most vocal and detectable during the breeding season (spring/summer).
This grassbird has a distinctive, frog-like or grinding call that can be quite loud and carries well across its marshy habitats.
