The Speckled Reed Warbler is an extremely rare and elusive migratory warbler, known from very few records. It is believed to inhabit dense reedbeds and tall vegetation.
Where to spot
Known from very few scattered records, mainly in eastern China during migration. Its breeding grounds are suspected to be in northeastern China or adjacent regions, in dense reedbeds or tall grasses.
How to spot
Extraordinary luck and patience are required. Look in dense reedbeds and tall marsh vegetation. Listen for any unusual warbler songs or calls that might indicate its presence, as visual confirmation is extremely difficult.
When to spot
Highly opportunistic due to its rarity. Most records are during spring and autumn migration periods. Specific breeding and wintering season observations are exceedingly rare.
