The Eastern Bearded Greenbul is a robust bulbul with olive-green upperparts and noticeable pale bristles around its bill. It is a shy species of eastern African forests.
Where to spot
Found in parts of East Africa, inhabiting primary and mature secondary rainforests, often in the understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct calls, which are often the best way to locate this elusive bird. Patience is required to glimpse its olive plumage and subtle bristles in dense forest.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active during daylight hours, but its secretive nature means it is often heard rather than seen.

Like its western counterpart, this greenbul's 'beard' of bristles is a unique adaptation, likely aiding in tactile foraging as it rummages through dense foliage for insects and small fruits.
