The Papyrus Gonolek is a rare and localized bushshrike found exclusively in papyrus swamps of East Africa. It has a striking black, yellow, and red plumage, but its secretive nature makes it difficult to observe.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in dense papyrus swamps and marshes in parts of East Africa, including Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive loud, clear calls that carry over the swamps. Look for quick movements in the dense papyrus. Its striking colors are only briefly visible when it hops to a more open perch.
When to spot
Active during daylight, but highly secretive. Best observed from a boat or elevated position near papyrus.
