Spotted
The Black-crowned Tchagra is a widespread and common bushshrike found across much of Africa and parts of Arabia. It is easily identifiable by its black crown, white supercilium, and rufous wings.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa and southwestern Arabian Peninsula, found in various open woodlands, savannas, and scrubland.
How to spot
Look for its upright posture, black crown, and rufous wing panels. Its loud, clear whistling calls are a primary identification feature and often lead to its discovery. It often perches on exposed branches or bushes.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often heard calling prominently in the mornings and evenings.
