Spotted
The Black-shouldered Cuckooshrike is a small, subtle cuckooshrike found in central Africa. Males are dark grey with black shoulders, while females are duller, often with barred underparts.
Where to spot
Inhabits the canopy of lowland rainforests and mature secondary forests in Central Africa, including countries like Cameroon and Gabon.
How to spot
Scan the middle to upper canopy of forest trees. Look for their characteristic slow, undulating flight. Listen for their often-melodious calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen singly or in pairs. It is a resident species, observable year-round.
Many cuckooshrikes, including this species, are known for their habit of 'shivering' their wings upon landing, a behavior thought to dislodge insects.
