African Pitta

Africa Pitta
The African Pitta must rate as one of Africa's 'most wanted' birds - a secretive, skulking bird that favours dense thickets with a good ground cover of leaf litter in low-lying areas such as the Zambezi Valley and South Luangwa National Park where it comes to breed during the summer rains.

Despite its secretive habits it is relatively easy to find once one knows its clear whistle and is best searched for during December and January.
