The Mano River Sunbird is a visually distinctive species, with males showing a combination of iridescent green and blue with a broad orange or red breast band. It's found in forested habitats.
Where to spot
Occurs in West Africa, particularly in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and possibly Guinea, inhabiting lowland tropical moist forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Seek it out in the canopy and sub-canopy of tropical forests. Its vibrant colors can make it stand out against the green foliage, especially in good light. Listen for its calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Early mornings are typically the most productive time for observation, as birds are busy foraging for nectar and small insects.
