(Nicator gularis)
This is one of Nicator genus. Eastern and Western are very much alike.
Where can I find
Western Nicator in Uganda?
Uganda is the eastern edge of their distribution,
therefore they can be found in western Ugana,
for example, Kaniyo-Pabidi ecotourism site, Busingiro ecotourism site
and Echuya forest reserve.

NFA bird Podcast: I am Johnnie Kamugisha. The
bird for today is a Western Nicator
Nicator is a genus of songbirds endemic to
Africa and the genus contains three medium sized passerine birds.
There is still an argument about the grouping
of the Nicator genus.
Some authorities placing it with Bulbuls and
the other authorities placing with Bush-shrikes.
These are Western Nicator, eastern Nicator and
the Yellow-throated Nicator.
The Nicators are endemic to Sub-Saharan
Africa.
The Western Nicator has a mostly continuous
distribution from Senegal to Eastern Uganda and Northen Angola.
The Western Nicator is very similar to eastern
Nicator only that the sides of its face and crown are olive-green.
It is best identified by its range and call or
call it vocalisation but the size is the same 23cm.
It can be found in forests like Budongo,
Kibale, Echuya among others.
The bird for today is the Western Nicator and
am Johnnie Kamugisha.
