Spotted
The West African Seedeater is a common and widespread seedeater, typically streaky brown with a paler belly and a strong, conical bill.
Where to spot
Widespread across West Africa, from Senegal to Cameroon. It inhabits open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground in open grassy areas or perched on low bushes. Their streaky plumage provides camouflage, so look for movement. Listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round throughout its extensive range. Often found in flocks outside the breeding season. Breeding activity varies by region, typically during the rainy season.
This adaptable species is often found in both natural habitats and areas altered by humans, such as gardens and farmlands.
