Spotted
Lagden's Bushshrike is a large, colorful, and highly elusive bird found in fragmented rainforests of West and Central Africa. It is characterized by its yellow belly, red breast, and green upperparts with a black head.
Where to spot
Found in dense lowland rainforests and montane forests, often fragmented, across parts of West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive loud, hooting, and whistling calls. Look for glimpses of its bright colors, particularly the red and yellow, high in the canopy. Requires significant patience and luck.
When to spot
Active during daylight, but extremely difficult to spot due to its shyness and preference for dense canopy. Often heard early mornings.
