Spotted
The Marsh Tchagra is a shy and elusive bushshrike found in the marshlands and dense wetlands of Central Africa. It is a small, relatively drab species, blending well into its reedy habitat.
Where to spot
Found in marshy areas, reedy swamps, and dense aquatic vegetation in parts of Central Africa.
How to spot
Look for its skulking behavior among reeds and low bushes. Listen for its distinctive, often whispered, calls which can help pinpoint its location. Patience is crucial for a glimpse.
When to spot
Most active in the early mornings and late afternoons when foraging, but can be difficult to observe due to its shy nature and dense habitat.
