The Little Greenbul is a small, common, and widespread bulbul in Africa, characterized by its rather plain olive-green plumage. It is often heard more than seen in dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting a wide range of wooded habitats including forests, woodlands, savannas, gardens, and cultivation.
How to spot
Listen for its varied and often mimicked calls. Its drab plumage means it blends well into foliage, so patience and careful scanning of mid-story and undergrowth are needed.
When to spot
Observable year-round throughout its range. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
