The Grosbeak Weaver is a large and distinctive weaver species found in sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by its unusually large, conical bill. Males have a white forehead and variable yellow plumage.
Where to spot
Widespread across parts of sub-Saharan Africa, from West to East and South. Inhabits forest edges, dense woodlands, thickets, and riverine forests.
How to spot
Look for its large, stout bill, which is the key identification feature. Search in dense vegetation along forest edges or riverbanks. Listen for its distinctive, often harsh, calls.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round. Breeding activity, when males are more vocal and conspicuous, generally occurs during the local rainy seasons.
