Spotted
The Dark-backed Weaver is a rather dull, olive-brown weaver bird, distinguished by its dark back and yellowish underparts. It is a forest-dwelling species, often found near clearings.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, including countries like Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Inhabits primary and secondary rainforests, forest edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Look for its dark olive-brown back and yellowish underparts. Search forest edges and clearings. Listen for its quiet, often simple calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout daylight hours, often foraging in the mid-story and sub-canopy.
Unlike many weavers that are colonial breeders, this species is often found breeding in solitary pairs, building its nests in dense forest undergrowth.
