Observation details
This species is suspected to be breeding at this site. The earliest documentation I have found of this goes back to the mid 1990s during a breeding bird survey conducted over the course of two weeks during which males were observed singing and displaying territorial behavior. I made similar observations in May 2018 but wasn't able to return to the area during the breeding season. Yesterday I only had time to locate one of the singing males in the same area as I did last year. I located him by his song and only briefly used playback after recording to see what response it provoked. The bird briefly appeared just above to top of the reeds before dropping out of sight again and resuming its singing.
