Jameson's Wattle-eye is a small, active African forest bird distinguished by its prominent eye-wattles. Males typically have a black head and breast, white belly, and dark upperparts.
Where to spot
Found in Central Africa, primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. Inhabits lowland and montane rainforests.
How to spot
Look for them in the mid-story and understory of dense forests. Their specific wattle color (often red or orange-yellow depending on subspecies) and call are key. Listen for their rapid, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours.

Like other wattle-eyes, this species uses its distinctive eye-wattles not only for display but potentially for territorial signaling to other wattle-eyes in its dense forest environment.
