Spotted
The Leaf-love is a robust, dull brown bulbul with a shaggy appearance and a distinctive habit of climbing and clambering through dense foliage. It lives up to its name by seemingly 'loving' the leaves it inhabits.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, inhabiting dense undergrowth of primary and secondary rainforests, gallery forests, and riverine thickets.
How to spot
Look for its dull brown plumage and distinctive climbing behavior within dense foliage. Listen for its loud, often harsh calls, which are frequently the first indication of its presence.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident tropical habitat. Most active during daylight hours, especially in the early morning.

True to its unique common name, the Leaf-love is a master at navigating dense tangles of leaves and vines, often hanging upside down as it searches for insects and fruits, showcasing remarkable agility.
