Not yet spotted on Fladder
Spotted
A small, somewhat elusive crombec with olive-green upperparts, a pale greyish-white belly, and a short tail. It is similar to other crombecs but distinct in its range and subtle vocalizations.
Where to spot
Dry acacia woodlands and scrub in parts of the Horn of Africa, particularly central and southern Somalia.
How to spot
Requires patience due to its small size and tendency to stay within dense vegetation. Listen for its calls, which can help pinpoint its location in the thorny acacia bush.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early mornings. Information on its precise breeding season is limited, but likely linked to local rainfall.
