The Golden Greenbul is a striking member of the bulbul family, easily identified by its bright yellow underparts contrasting with olive-green upperparts. It is a vibrant presence in its forest habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the rainforests of West and Central Africa, typically found in the lower and middle strata of dense primary and mature secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow belly, which stands out in the dim forest light. It can be elusive, so listen for its melodic calls and patiently scan the undergrowth, particularly near fruiting trees.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its non-migratory range. Best seen during daylight hours, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when actively foraging.
