Willard's boubou

Laniarius willardi

Willard's boubou (Laniarius willardi) is a medium-sized passerine bird found in the montane forests of Tanzania. This species is known for its striking black and white plumage, with a distinctive red eye. Willard's boubou is an active and vocal bird, often heard before it is seen, as it forages for insects and small vertebrates in the dense undergrowth. It builds cup-shaped nests in the forest canopy, where it lays its eggs. The population of Willard's boubou is currently stable, but it faces potential threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
