The Olive Barbet is a small, relatively dull-plumaged African barbet, mostly olive-green with a paler belly. It is an inhabitant of dense, humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, dense thickets, and bamboo zones in East Africa, including isolated populations in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique.
How to spot
Listen for its low, repetitive hooting calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy of dense montane forests, particularly near fruiting trees. Its drab plumage makes it blend in well, so patience is key.
When to spot
Year-round; often heard more than seen, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its subdued coloration, the Olive Barbet's presence is often given away by its distinctive, often monotonous, hooting or trilling calls that carry well through the forest.
