The Southern Hyliota is a small, active bird of sub-Saharan African woodlands, distinguished by its olive-green upperparts and yellow-washed underparts. It is an insectivorous species that forages actively in the canopy.
Where to spot
Found in various parts of southern Africa, inhabiting miombo woodlands, dry forests, and acacia savannas.
How to spot
Scan the tree canopy of woodlands. Its small size and active movements can make it challenging, so look for constant motion in the foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly in the mornings when it is actively gleaning insects.

This Hyliota species often joins mixed-species foraging flocks, moving through the canopy alongside other small birds, which can increase its detectability.
