It lives among reeds and rushes at the water's edge. The pair puzzles anyone new to birding: he jet black, she painted in yellow and brown. It sings clinging to a rush, swaying with the wind.
Behaviour
It moves in pairs or small groups through the marsh vegetation, looking for insects and seeds near the water.
How and when to see it
