The Royal Cinclodes is a striking and highly restricted-range flycatcher, known for its active movements and association with high-altitude bogs and streams. This species is critically endangered.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to a very small area of high-altitude bogs and Polylepis woodlands in the Peruvian Andes.
How to spot
Requires extreme rarity awareness and conservation focus. Look for its active movements near water in high-altitude wetlands. Its unique habitat preference is a key identifier.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Observations are extremely rare due to its limited population and habitat. Best observed during daylight hours, if located.
