Spotted
The Cliff Chat is a large and striking species, known for its glossy black plumage with a prominent chestnut belly and undertail. It is strongly associated with rocky cliffs and outcrops.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting rocky cliffs, gorges, inselbergs, and man-made structures like dams and quarries.
How to spot
Focus your search on rocky cliffs, large boulders, and steep escarpments. Look for its prominent black and chestnut coloration. Listen for its loud, clear, thrush-like song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (varies by region, often during the wet season).
Its loud, far-carrying song, often delivered from a high perch on a cliff face, echoes across valleys and is a characteristic sound of its rugged habitat.
