Where to spot
Found in forests of Central Africa, including Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and Angola. It prefers dense undergrowth, often near streams, in lowland and montane rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its blue-grey back, orange throat, and white belly. It often forages on the forest floor, so patience is key. Listen for its rich, melodious, and often mimetic song.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon when it is more vocal. Breeding season varies by region.
Despite its often secretive nature, this robin-chat is known for its beautiful and varied song, which often includes mimicked calls of other forest birds, making it a 'voice' of the African jungle.
