Spotted
A small, elusive bird found in dense coastal forests, characterized by its rather plain brown plumage. It is typically heard before it is seen.
Where to spot
Coastal evergreen forests and thickets in East Africa, notably Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
How to spot
Listen for its simple, repetitive song from dense cover. It tends to forage near the ground, so focus on the understory.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Mornings are generally the most active period for vocalization.
This akalat is particularly vulnerable to habitat loss due to the destruction of coastal forests for agriculture and development.
