The African Broadbill is a small, plump, and somewhat cryptic passerine bird with a broad bill, often found in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth, secondary growth, and forest edges in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, buzzing or whirring vocalizations, often described as a 'snap' or 'creak.' It is often heard more than seen, as it keeps to dense cover. Patience is key.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
