The Mountain Saw-wing is a dark-plumaged swallow found in montane forests of Cameroon and Bioko. Similar to other saw-wings, it exhibits serrations on its primary feathers.
Where to spot
Montane rainforests, forest clearings, and forest edges at higher elevations in Cameroon and on the island of Bioko.
How to spot
Look for its dark, sooty plumage and typical swallow flight. Focus on areas with open skies near montane forests. Distinguishing it from other saw-wings may require careful observation of its specific range and subtle size differences.
When to spot
Year-round, resident species. Active throughout the day, foraging for insects.
This species is endemic to specific montane regions, adapting to cooler, higher altitude environments compared to its lowland relatives, showcasing niche specialization.
