Spotted
The Mountain Sooty Boubou is a rather drab, uniformly dark bushshrike found in the montane forests of East Africa. It is closely related to the Lowland Sooty Boubou but inhabits higher altitudes.
Where to spot
Found in montane forests, bamboo thickets, and forest edges at high altitudes in East Africa.
How to spot
Look for its uniform dark, sooty plumage. Its vocalizations are varied and complex, often including duets and mimicry, which are crucial for identification in its difficult habitat.
When to spot
Active during daylight, but often difficult to see due to its secretive nature and dense habitat.
The Mountain Sooty Boubou often forages in the dense undergrowth, making it more easily heard through its varied calls than seen.
