Spotted
Moreau's Sunbird is a rare and highly localized species, distinguished by the male's iridescent green, blue, and a broad red breast band. It is critically endangered due to habitat loss.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and endemic to a very small area of isolated forest patches in the East Usambara Mountains of northeastern Tanzania.
How to spot
Requires specialized conservation-focused birdwatching trips to its remaining forest fragments. Look for it among flowering plants in the forest understory and mid-story. Its calls are important for detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observation is exceptionally challenging due to its rarity and restricted habitat. Focused effort during morning activity is essential.
This sunbird is one of Africa's most threatened bird species, relying on extremely specific and diminishing patches of coastal forest, making every sighting significant.
