The Red-headed Finch is a striking finch found in the dry savannas and semi-deserts of Southern Africa. Males have a brilliant red head, contrasting with a speckled brown body, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Endemic to Southern Africa, primarily in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. Prefers arid savannas, grasslands, and scrubland, often near waterholes.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground, foraging for seeds, or gathering at water sources. The male's bright red head is an unmistakable identifier.
When to spot
Year-round, but its presence can be unpredictable due to its nomadic nature. Best observed during the breeding season following good rainfall.
