The Akun Eagle Owl is a medium-sized owl found in the tropical rainforests of West and Central Africa. It is a secretive species, often difficult to observe due to its dense habitat.
Where to spot
Lowland tropical rainforests and gallery forests in West and Central Africa, from Sierra Leone to Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive hooting calls, often a series of 'wuk-wuk-wuk' notes. Spotting is challenging due to its dense habitat and shy nature; focus on the mid-story.
When to spot
Nocturnal. Best observed by listening for its calls from dusk to dawn. Visual sightings are rare.
