White-spotted Flufftail

Sarothrura ayresi

The White-spotted Flufftail (Sarothrura ayresi) is a small, secretive bird species found in the wetlands and dense vegetation of eastern and southern Africa. This elusive bird is known for its distinctive white spots on the wings and tail, as well as its cryptic plumage that helps it blend into its marshy habitat. The White-spotted Flufftail is primarily active during the early morning and late evening, foraging for insects and small invertebrates in the undergrowth. Due to its secretive nature and preference for dense vegetation, it is often challenging to observe in the wild.
