Where to spot
East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan. Found in arid and semi-arid acacia bushland, thorn scrub, and open dry savannas.
How to spot
Look for the male's unmistakable golden-yellow and black plumage. They are often seen foraging on the ground or perching conspicuously on low bushes or termite mounds.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but can be nomadic in response to rainfall. Best observed during the breeding season when males are most active and colorful.
