Spotted
The Yellow-tailed Bristlebill is a distinctive forest bulbul, recognized by its olive-green body and striking bright yellow tail. It typically forages in the lower strata of dense forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to West Africa, inhabiting the dense understory and mid-story of primary and mature secondary rainforests, often near streams or swampy areas.
How to spot
Its bright yellow tail is a key identification feature, especially when it flicks or flits through dense vegetation. Listen for its loud, clear calls, which often precede a sighting.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its non-migratory range. Best seen during daylight hours, particularly in the early morning when active.

Like other bristlebills, it possesses prominent rictal bristles around its beak, believed to assist in navigating and catching prey in the tangled undergrowth of its preferred habitat.
