Spotted
A small, distinctive warbler with a bright green back, grey head, and white belly. It has a short tail that it often cocks up, giving it a wren-like appearance.
Where to spot
Forests, woodlands, dense scrub, and gardens across a wide range of sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Look for its bright green back and grey head. It is an active gleaner of insects in the understory. Listen for its characteristic loud, explosive 'Prit-Prit-Prit' or 'chip-chip-chip' calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, but most vocal in the mornings. Breeding typically occurs during the local wet seasons.
