Spotted
The Crested Guineafowl is a widespread and varied species group known for its distinctive small crest of stiff, brush-like black feathers. It inhabits diverse woodland and forest environments.
Where to spot
Found across a broad range of wooded habitats, including lowland forests, dense woodlands, and savannas with adequate cover, primarily in East and parts of Central Africa.
How to spot
Listen for their loud, harsh, and often persistent calls, which can lead you to a group. Look for them foraging in small coveys on the ground, often near water sources or dense thickets.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but observation is often best at dawn and dusk when they are most vocal and actively foraging. They are present year-round.
