Spotted
Turati's Boubou is a medium-sized bushshrike found in the dense broadleaf forests of West Africa. It is similar to other boubous but distinguished by specific plumage details and vocalizations.
Where to spot
Found in dense broadleaf forests and clearings in West Africa, including Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ivory Coast.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic loud, fluty duets. Distinguish it from similar boubous by subtle differences in plumage, especially on the flanks, and its distinct calls. Focus on dense undergrowth.
When to spot
Active during daylight, particularly vocal in the early mornings and late afternoons.
Turati's Boubou, like many other boubous, often engages in complex duets, where the male and female synchronize their calls perfectly, making it sound like a single bird singing.
