Animal Facts - The Large Billed Reed Warbler

Did you know that the large billed reed warbler holds the title of being the "World's Least Known Bird"? Since its discovery in 1867, this bird has only been spotted alive four times, the most recent occurrence being in 2010 in Afghanistan. The warbler lives in remote, sparsely-populated areas, which has contributed to its lack of sitings.
