Spotted
The Black-capped Babbler is a distinctive species found in the forests of West Africa. It is characterized by its prominent black cap contrasting with a rufous-brown body and pale underparts.
Where to spot
Found in West Africa, from Sierra Leone to Ghana and Togo. Inhabits dense undergrowth of lowland evergreen forests and secondary growth, often near swampy areas.
How to spot
Listen for its quiet, often conversational, chattering calls. Look for subtle movements in the leaf litter or low shrubs. The prominent black cap is the most reliable identification feature.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Observation can be challenging due to its secretive nature and dense habitat.
This species often forages in small, cohesive groups, moving quietly through the undergrowth and communicating with soft calls.
