Ludwig's Double-collared Sunbird is a species with vibrant male plumage, featuring iridescent green and blue, and a prominent red breast band. It's often found in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in montane forests and forest edges in parts of East and Central Africa, including eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of Uganda and Tanzania.
How to spot
Scan flowering trees and shrubs within humid montane forests. Its bright colors are quite visible, and its persistent calls or songs can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging activity is highest. Look for it when flowering plants are in bloom.
This species is part of a complex group of similar-looking sunbirds, and differentiating them often requires close attention to subtle variations in plumage iridescence and vocalizations, as well as geographic location.
