Where to spot
Widespread across parts of Central and West Africa, inhabiting lowland and montane forests.
How to spot
Look for it high in the canopy or mid-story, often visiting small flowers. Its diminutive size and plain green plumage are key features; listen intently for its faint calls.
When to spot
Active year-round, with peak foraging in the early morning and late afternoon.

The Little Green Sunbird is notable for its unusually high-pitched and insect-like calls, often making it difficult to detect its presence by sound alone, requiring careful listening.
