Where to spot
Found in wetlands of East and Central Africa, particularly around Lake Victoria and associated river systems. It exclusively inhabits dense papyrus swamps.
How to spot
Observation requires visiting papyrus swamps. Look for them perched on emergent papyrus stems or flying low over the reeds. Listen for their distinctive, often buzzy calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round within its specific wetland habitat. Breeding activity is often tied to water levels and food availability within the papyrus.
