Spotted
The Taveta Golden Weaver is a small, bright yellow weaver bird with a somewhat streaky back. Males have a bright golden-yellow head and underparts during breeding.
Where to spot
Endemic to a restricted area of southern Kenya and northeastern Tanzania, around Taveta. Inhabits arid and semi-arid savannas, acacia bushland, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow plumage. Males are particularly vibrant during the breeding season. Search arid savannas and acacia bushland. Listen for their typical weaver calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Breeding activity peaks during the rainy season, when males are most colorful and vocal.
