The Acacia Pied Barbet is a common and conspicuous African barbet, easily recognized by its bold black and white striped head, red facial markings, and spotted flanks. It is a widespread resident of dry woodlands.
Where to spot
Dry woodlands, acacia savannas, and gardens across a wide range in Southern Africa, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique.
How to spot
Listen for its unmistakable 'chop-chop' call. Look for it perched conspicuously in acacia trees or on telephone wires, often in open habitats. Its bold black and white pattern makes it relatively easy to spot.
When to spot
Year-round; highly vocal and active throughout the day, especially in the breeding season.
