Spotted
A distinctive forest pigeon found in Central Africa, notable for the prominent white patch on its nape. It is a shy and elusive bird of the upper canopy.
Where to spot
Distributed across the rainforest belt of Central Africa, including countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Congo.
How to spot
Scan the upper canopy of primary lowland rainforests. Patience and good optics are needed as they are often high up and well-camouflaged. Listen for its unique, rather mournful hooting call.
When to spot
Primarily active during the day, foraging for fruit. Often heard calling from the dense canopy in the early morning or late afternoon.

The striking white nape patch is a key identification feature, standing out vividly against its otherwise dark body plumage, making it recognizable even from a distance.
