The Natal Robin-Chat is a colorful and secretive bird, characterized by its orange throat and breast, grey head, and olive-brown upperparts. It inhabits dense undergrowth of forests.
Where to spot
Found in Eastern and Southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth, particularly in moist evergreen forests and thickets.
How to spot
Patience is key due to its shy nature. Look for its orange throat and grey head as it forages on the forest floor or in low bushes. Listen for its rich, varied, and often mimetic song.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon. More vocal during breeding season.
