Scientists have discovered a breeding site for the Large-billed Reed-Warbler Acrocephalus orinus, a bird first discovered in 1867 and not seen again until 2006. The find, in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan, is the first confirmed breeding site though other researchers found a likely breeding site in Afghanistan last year.

It’s absolutely amazing to think that there are still areas in this world so untouched by human interference, that a bird species can disappear for over a hundred years without being seen.
