Spotted
Baumann's Greenbul is a robust bulbul with a distinctive pale eye, contrasting with its olive-green plumage. It is a shy and elusive inhabitant of lowland rainforests.
Where to spot
Found in West Africa, inhabiting the understory and mid-story of primary and secondary lowland rainforests.
How to spot
Look for the pale eye, which is a subtle but important field mark. Listen for its distinctive calls, which often provide the best clue to its presence in dense forest.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, but its secretive nature means it is often heard rather than seen.

This species is named after Oscar Baumann, an Austrian explorer and ethnographer. Its pale eye is a key field mark that helps distinguish it from other similar-looking greenbuls in its range.
