The Loango Weaver is a small, rather drab weaver, primarily brown with some streaking, making it somewhat challenging to identify. It is found in coastal habitats.
Where to spot
Found along the coast of West-Central Africa, from Gabon to Angola. Inhabits coastal savannas, sandy beaches, and vegetation near lagoons.
How to spot
Look for its relatively plain brown plumage and small size. Search coastal scrub and vegetation. Listen for its quiet, unassuming calls, which may indicate its presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the dry season when accessing coastal areas might be easier.
