Spotted
The Albertine Owlet is a small, elusive owl found in the montane forests of the Albertine Rift in Central Africa. It is a highly localized and rarely observed species.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests in the Albertine Rift, including parts of Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive series of hoots, which can be difficult to locate. Spotting is very difficult due to its rarity and dense, high-altitude habitat; expert guidance is crucial.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day. Most vocal at dawn and dusk, but sightings are exceedingly rare.
This owlet is endemic to the Albertine Rift Mountains, a region renowned for its high levels of endemism and unique biodiversity, making it a species of conservation importance.
