The Yellow-crowned Bishop is a small, widespread African weaver species. Breeding males are predominantly black with a distinctive yellow crown and a yellow patch on the shoulders.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, commonly found in grasslands, savannas, and agricultural areas, especially in wetter localities.
How to spot
Look for the male's bright yellow crown and shoulder patches against its black body. They often perch conspicuously on tall grasses or reeds, or flutter over their territories.
When to spot
Most visible during the breeding season (often the rainy season) when males are in their striking black and yellow breeding plumage and perform aerial displays.
