Spotted
The Sombre Greenbul is a medium-sized, unassuming passerine bird known for its olive-green plumage and secretive nature. It often remains hidden within dense foliage, identified more by its distinctive calls.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, primarily inhabiting dense undergrowth, forests, woodlands, coastal thickets, and well-vegetated gardens.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic 'we-che-we-che' or 'pip-pip-pip' calls from deep within vegetation. It can be hard to spot, so patience is key, or try observing near fruiting trees.
When to spot
Observable year-round throughout its range. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its 'sombre' appearance, this greenbul has a remarkably far-carrying and liquid song, which is often the first and only indication of its presence in dense vegetation.
