The Narina Trogon is a spectacularly beautiful bird with iridescent green upperparts, a vibrant red belly, and a distinctive golden-yellow eye-ring. It is a secretive forest dweller of Africa.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting dense lowland and montane forests, woodlands, and well-vegetated riparian zones.
How to spot
Listen for their soft, mournful hooting calls. Look for them perched silently and upright on branches within the forest mid-story. Patience is key to spotting their vibrant colors.
When to spot
Diurnal, most active at dawn and dusk. They can be found throughout the day, often sitting quietly.

Despite their brilliant plumage, Narina Trogons can be surprisingly difficult to spot as they sit motionless in dense foliage, often facing away to camouflage their bright colors.
