Spotted
The Olive Bushshrike is a rather uniformly olive-green bushshrike found in the dense forests of southern and East Africa. Its subdued coloration helps it blend seamlessly into its leafy habitat.
Where to spot
Found in dense evergreen forests, coastal thickets, and montane forests in southern and East Africa.
How to spot
Look for its overall olive-green plumage. Its calls are typically soft, rather mournful whistles, sometimes given in a duet. Patience and keen ears are crucial for locating this shy bird in dense cover.
When to spot
Active during daylight, but often very elusive. Best detected by its calls.

The Olive Bushshrike is a master of camouflage, its plumage making it incredibly difficult to spot amidst the green foliage, even when close.
