The African Golden Oriole is a beautiful migratory songbird found across Sub-Saharan Africa. Males display brilliant golden-yellow plumage, making them a striking sight in their woodland habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread across Sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting open woodlands, savanna, riverine forests, and well-wooded gardens.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, flute-like 'weeloo-weeloo' or 'whu-whee-wheeo' song, which is often the best way to locate it. Look for the male's brilliant yellow body and black wings; females are duller, often greenish-yellow.
When to spot
Breeding season (summer) in various parts of Africa, migrating locally or over longer distances during the non-breeding season. Most vocal in early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its bright plumage, the African Golden Oriole can be surprisingly difficult to spot as it tends to remain hidden in dense foliage, often only revealed by its distinctive fluty calls.
