The Kikuyu Greenbul is a subtle olive-green bulbul, often difficult to distinguish from closely related species without detailed observation of its subtle plumage variations. It is a highland forest resident.
Where to spot
Found in the highland forests of Kenya, particularly in the central highlands, inhabiting montane forests and dense wooded areas at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its general olive-green plumage in the appropriate montane forest habitat. Careful attention to subtle vocal differences from similar species is often necessary for positive identification.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident montane habitat. Most active during daylight hours, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks.
