Souza's Shrike is a small, relatively secretive shrike species found in West-Central Africa. It inhabits a mosaic of woodland and grassland habitats, preferring areas with scattered trees and bushes. Its cryptic plumage helps it blend into its environment as it hunts for insects.
Where to spot
Found in West-Central Africa, including parts of Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia. It prefers open woodlands, savannas with scattered trees, and dense thickets.
How to spot
Patience is key due to its somewhat retiring nature. Look for it perched within the cover of bushes or low trees, sallying out for insects. Its subdued brownish-grey plumage blends well with the environment, so focus on movement and listen for its quiet calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. It can be quite secretive, but is most active during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings.

Souza's Shrike is sometimes difficult to observe due to its preference for dense, tangled vegetation within its woodland-grassland mosaic habitat.
