The African Paradise Flycatcher is a widespread and charismatic bird across much of Sub-Saharan Africa. Males are particularly striking with their long tail streamers and often a rufous or white body.
Where to spot
Widespread across Sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting a variety of habitats including forests, woodlands, savannas, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for the male's exceptionally long tail streamers and bright rufous or white plumage. Observe its acrobatic flights as it catches insects. Listen for its clear, whistling calls and chattering notes.
When to spot
Year-round resident in many areas, but some populations are migratory. Most active during the breeding season and in the mornings and late afternoons.

Like its Asian counterpart, the male African Paradise Flycatcher can be found in two distinct morphs: a rufous morph and a less common white morph, especially in mature individuals.
