Spotted
The Sakalava Weaver is another Madagascan endemic, easily recognized by the male's bright yellow and black plumage during the breeding season. It prefers drier, open habitats.
Where to spot
Common in western and southern Madagascar, preferring open dry woodlands, spiny forests, savannas, and coastal areas.
How to spot
Spot them by their bright colours in open woodlands or near villages. Their hanging nests, often clustered in colonies, are a good indicator of their presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Breeding activity, when males are most colourful and nests are being built, typically occurs during the rainy season.
