Why it matters
The Rufous-bellied Heron is a striking resident of sub-Saharan wetlands, easily identified by its broad, rounded wings and deep, chestnut-colored plumage. It is particularly prized by birders for its secretive nature and the way its rich coloration contrasts against the papyrus swamps it inhabits.
