Spotted
A small, attractive apalis with a striking black collar across a pale breast, contrasting with olive-green upperparts and a grey head.
Where to spot
Montane forests, especially in the understory and mid-strata, in East and Central Africa (e.g., Rwanda, Uganda, DRC, Kenya).
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black collar. It is an active insectivore, moving quickly through foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated, rattling or buzzing song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the breeding season.
