Monteiro's Bushshrike is a rare and striking bird found in the relict patches of humid forest in Angola and possibly DR Congo. It is a large, colorful bushshrike with a yellow head and green body.
Where to spot
Found in fragmented patches of humid lowland forest in Angola and potentially extreme western Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Very difficult to observe. Listen for its distinctive, loud, and resonant calls, which are the main clue to its presence. Look for its yellow head and green body if a fleeting glimpse is possible in dense forest.
When to spot
Observation is highly opportunistic due to its rarity and restricted habitat. Active during daylight.
