Böhm's Bee-eater is a strikingly beautiful and localized species found in south-central Africa. It is characterized by its bright crimson throat, black breast band, and vibrant green upperparts.
Where to spot
Restricted to miombo woodlands in south-central Africa, specifically in Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Zambia, and Malawi.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-canopy of miombo trees, often in pairs or small groups. Its distinctive calls can help pinpoint its location. Patience may be required as it can be less conspicuous than open-country bee-eaters.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its specific woodland habitat. Best observed during the drier months when the canopy is less dense and visibility improves.

This species often forages by gleaning insects from foliage or the ground, a behavior less common among other bee-eaters which primarily catch insects in flight.
