Spotted
Sabin's Puffback is a rather shy bushshrike found in the dense rainforests of West and Central Africa. It is a more robust species compared to other puffbacks, with a somewhat duller plumage.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests and mature secondary forests across West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic loud, duetting calls, which are often the best way to detect its presence in dense foliage. Look for a robust, dark-plumaged bushshrike in the understory.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but its elusive nature means observation is often opportunistic.
Sabin's Puffback is known for its remarkable ability to blend into its dense forest habitat, making it challenging for observers to spot despite its relatively large size.
