Spotted
The Green Tinkerbird is a small, mostly green African barbet with yellow-tinged underparts and a plain face. It's a rather inconspicuous species of humid forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and montane forests, forest edges, and dense secondary growth in East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania, with isolated populations.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, rather un-tinkerbird-like 'pop' or 'pup' calls. Look in the mid to upper canopy for a small, plain green bird, often difficult to spot in dense foliage.
When to spot
Year-round; most vocal during the breeding season. Often heard in the early morning.

Green Tinkerbirds are primarily frugivorous, playing a role in dispersing the seeds of various forest trees and shrubs.
