Spotted
The Green Hylia is a small, distinctive African bird known for its uniform olive-green plumage, giving it excellent camouflage in its forest habitat. It has a relatively short tail and a strong bill.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory and mid-stratum of lowland and montane rainforests across a wide range in equatorial Africa.
How to spot
Look for its uniform green plumage and active movements. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated 'tsip' or 'tsee' calls, which help in locating it in dense foliage.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season, often in the early mornings.

The Green Hylia was once considered a warbler but is now placed in its own unique family, Hyliidae, due to distinct genetic and morphological characteristics.
