The White-winged Warbler is a distinctive, though shy, warbler found in wetland habitats of Central Africa. It is named for the prominent white patch on its wing, a key identification feature.
Where to spot
Papyrus swamps and dense reedbeds along lakes and rivers in parts of Central Africa, including Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white wing patch, even if only a partial view is possible. Listen for its calls from dense papyrus, and be prepared for brief, fleeting sightings.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident. Early mornings are generally best for hearing calls and potentially glimpsing the bird.
