Spotted
The Brown-crowned Tchagra is a widespread bushshrike in southern and eastern Africa, closely resembling the Black-crowned Tchagra but with a brown instead of a black crown. It is often found in dense bush and scrub.
Where to spot
Widespread in southern and eastern Africa, typically found in dense bush, thickets, and forest edges.
How to spot
Key identification is its brown crown contrasting with a white supercilium and rufous wings. It can be shy, so listen for its calls and watch for movement in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Active during daylight, vocal especially in the mornings and evenings.
