Spotted
Bruce's Green Pigeon is a distinctive species with bright green plumage and a prominent grey cap, found across arid regions of Africa and Arabia. It is known for its graceful, swift flight.
Where to spot
Spans from northern Africa (e.g., Senegal, Ethiopia) across the Arabian Peninsula to parts of the Middle East, preferring dry woodlands, acacia savanna, and areas with fruiting trees.
How to spot
Look for it in fruiting trees, especially wild figs or dates. Its distinctive grey cap and green body are good identifiers. Listen for its characteristic bubbling or hooting calls, which carry well in open landscapes.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range, with increased activity during the fruiting seasons, typically in the morning and late afternoon. They are active during daylight hours.
