The Bangwa Forest Warbler is an endemic species to a small region of Cameroon, West Africa. It is a secretive bird of dense montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bangwa region of western Cameroon, inhabiting dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets in montane forests, primarily on Mount Manengouba.
How to spot
Requires dedicated search in its highly restricted montane forest habitat. Listen for its distinctive song, which can be a series of simple, repetitive notes, and watch patiently for movement low in the vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning when it may be more active and vocal, though its elusive nature makes sightings challenging.
