Spotted
The White-naped Weaver is a distinctive forest weaver, characterized by its glossy black body and a prominent white patch on its nape. It is a rather elusive species.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, including Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its glossy black body and distinct white nape. Search the mid-story and sub-canopy of dense forests, particularly on tree trunks. Listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout daylight hours. Can be difficult to spot in dense forest foliage.
This species often forages for insects on tree trunks and branches, moving in an almost nuthatch-like manner, using its sharp claws to cling to bark.
