The Black Guineafowl is a highly elusive and uniformly dark-plumaged member of the guineafowl family. It is a shy, terrestrial bird of the African forests.
Where to spot
This species is restricted to the lowland rainforests and dense secondary growth of West-Central Africa, particularly in countries like Cameroon, Congo, and Gabon.
How to spot
Observing the Black Guineafowl requires patience and quiet movement in its forest habitat. Listen intently for its calls, which can betray its presence, as it often stays hidden in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Like many forest birds, the Black Guineafowl is most active and observable during the cooler periods of early morning and late afternoon. It is resident year-round.

Its almost entirely black plumage helps it blend seamlessly into the shaded undergrowth of its dense forest habitat, making it incredibly difficult to spot.
