The White-headed Babbler is a striking species with a contrasting white head and dark body, though plumage can vary regionally. These highly social birds are known for their noisy calls and cooperative foraging. They are an active presence in their African habitats.
Where to spot
Primarily found in East Africa, ranging from Sudan and Ethiopia south through Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. They inhabit dry woodlands, bushlands, and savannas, often near rivers or cultivated areas.
How to spot
Locate them by their characteristic loud, chattering calls. Search for active groups foraging on the ground or in low vegetation. The distinct white head, contrasting with a dark body, is the primary identification mark.
When to spot
Year-round residents within their range, they are most active during the cooler parts of the day, specifically early morning and late afternoon. Observing them during these times increases success.

Juvenile White-headed Babblers are often paler-headed than adults, and some subspecies exhibit less distinct white on the head, leading to historical confusion in identification.
