The Black-breasted Barbet is a large and striking African barbet, characterized by its bright yellow body plumage, a prominent black breast band, and a reddish head. It inhabits woodlands.
Where to spot
Dry woodlands, savanna, and gallery forests in Central Africa, including Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and Central African Republic.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, resonant calls. Look for its bright yellow body and black breast band as it perches conspicuously in trees. It can be quite shy despite its prominent colors.
When to spot
Year-round; most vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, particularly during the breeding season.
