Sjostedt's Barred Owlet is a small, secretive owl found in the tropical rainforests of West and Central Africa. It is characterized by its finely barred plumage, providing excellent camouflage.
Where to spot
Lowland tropical rainforests in West and Central Africa, from Nigeria to Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Listen for its short, whistling calls, which can give away its presence. Spotting is difficult due to its dense habitat and small size; look carefully for movement in the canopy.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day, especially at dawn and dusk. Can be very difficult to spot even when calling.

This owlet is typically found in the middle to upper canopy of dense rainforests, making it particularly challenging to observe visually among the thick foliage.
