Where to spot
Widespread in East Africa, ranging from Ethiopia to Tanzania. It prefers grasslands, savannas, cultivation, and forest edges, often near water.
How to spot
Look for it in grassy areas or among low shrubs, often near water sources. Its bright yellow belly and grey head are good identification marks. Listen for its high-pitched, soft calls.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round. Most active during the breeding season when males sing and display.
This waxbill often joins mixed-species foraging flocks, providing an extra set of eyes for potential predators.
