A small, highly localized sunbird, male Amani Sunbirds are iridescent green above with a pale belly. Females are duller. It is a rare species of threatened coastal forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to a few coastal forest patches in Tanzania, specifically the Amani-Sigi forest and similar areas.
How to spot
Requires dedicated searching within the remaining fragments of coastal forest. Listen for its high-pitched calls and look for it visiting flowering trees.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but very difficult to find due to its rarity and specific habitat. Best efforts in the early morning.
