Bannerman's Turaco is an endangered species endemic to the montane forests of Cameroon. It is notable for its bright green plumage and a very distinctive, large red crest.
Where to spot
Restricted to high-altitude montane forests and forest edges in the Bamenda Highlands of western Cameroon.
How to spot
Locating this species requires specific knowledge of its few remaining habitats and often local expert guidance. Listen for its loud, crow-like calls, which can carry through the forest.
When to spot
Present year-round, but its rarity and restricted, often inaccessible habitat make it very challenging to find. Early mornings are best for hearing its calls.
