Where to spot
Found in savannas, acacia woodlands, grasslands, and cultivated areas across East Africa, from Ethiopia to Tanzania.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive yellow neck patch, which is often visible even at a distance. Listen for its loud, grating call, often given from a termite mound or rock.
When to spot
