Spotted
The White-breasted Guineafowl is a striking, medium-sized bird belonging to the guineafowl family. It is known for its distinctive plumage and secretive nature, primarily inhabiting dense forest environments.
Where to spot
This species is typically found in the understory of lowland rainforests and mature secondary forests across West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Due to their shy nature and dense habitat, white-breasted guineafowl are often heard before they are seen. Listen for their distinctive calls and watch for movement on the forest floor, often near fallen logs or clearings.
When to spot
Observation is generally best during the early morning and late afternoon hours when they are most active foraging. They can be found year-round within their range.
