Spotted
The Striped Flufftail is a highly enigmatic and endangered species found in specific montane wetlands of central Africa. It is extremely shy and poorly known, often evading detection.
Where to spot
High-altitude bogs, moist montane grasslands, and swamps in central Africa (e.g., parts of DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda).
How to spot
Extreme patience and specialized local knowledge are often required. Listen intently for its soft calls in its rare habitat. Consider consulting local bird guides familiar with its specific range.
When to spot
Very difficult to observe, but dawn and dusk are likely the most active times. Best chances are during the breeding season when males might call.
