The Bronze-winged Courser is a nocturnal ground bird of sub-Saharan Africa, recognized by its distinctive bronze-glossed wings, large eyes, and rufous underparts.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, typically found in open woodlands, savannas, and dry scrubland.
How to spot
Search open areas at night, especially near roads where they may forage. During the day, they are remarkably well-camouflaged and tend to freeze, making them very difficult to spot.
When to spot
Best observed at dusk or dawn, or at night with a spotlight, when it is most active. Often rests during the day in shaded cover, making it difficult to find.

This courser is primarily active at night, foraging for insects, and its large eyes are a clear adaptation to its crepuscular and nocturnal lifestyle.
