The Rufous-sided Broadbill is a small, green broadbill distinguished by rufous (reddish-brown) flanks and underparts. It is found in the understory of African forests.
Where to spot
Primary and secondary tropical lowland rainforests, particularly in the understory, across West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, explosive 'snap' or 'buzzing' call, often given from hidden perches. It is a shy bird and requires patience to observe clearly in its dense habitat.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the day.
