Hartlaub's Babbler

Turdoides hartlaubii

The Hartlaub's babbler, also known as the Angola babbler, is a bird species belonging to the family Leiothrichidae. It is a tribute to the German physician and ornithologist Gustav Hartlaub, whose name it bears.

Identification Tips

This babbler can be identified by its white vent plumage, which is particularly noticeable. Observers should also look for the white rump plumage that is visible when the bird is perched.

Habitat

Hartlaub's babbler is typically found in wetland areas, as well as in woodlands, where it can be seen perching amidst the foliage.

Distribution

The species has a range that spans across south central Africa, including countries such as Angola, Botswana, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified Hartlaub's babbler as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.
