Spotted
The Somali Pigeon is an endemic species restricted to the Horn of Africa, particularly Somalia. It is a pigeon adapted to arid and semi-arid environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to Somalia and possibly eastern Ethiopia, typically found in arid scrubland, rocky areas, and coastal regions, often near water sources.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized, generally greyish pigeon in its specific arid habitat. Pay attention to subtle plumage differences from similar pigeons in the region. Observing at dawn or dusk near water sources might increase chances.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight hours. Observation is generally difficult due to its restricted and often remote habitat.
Due to its limited range and the challenging, remote habitats it occupies, the Somali Pigeon is one of the less studied and observed pigeon species globally.
