Spotted
A reclusive and forest-dwelling ibis of sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by its olive-green to bronze-brown plumage and lack of a prominent crest. It is difficult to observe due to its shy nature and dense habitat.
Where to spot
Dense rainforests, swamp forests, and gallery forests near water bodies across West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinctive calls. Look for its dark, olive-brown plumage and long, decurved bill. Requires patience as it is often hidden in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during the quieter hours of early morning or late afternoon, often near forest clearings or water edges.

The Olive Ibis is notoriously shy and often detected by its distinctive, loud calls echoing through the dense forest rather than by sight.
