Spotted
The Swamp Palm Bulbul is a distinctive bulbul, characterized by its long, shaggy crest and preference for swampy, palm-rich habitats. It has a rather unkempt appearance.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, specifically in swamp forests, dense thickets along rivers, and areas dominated by palms.
How to spot
Look for its shaggy crest and its preference for dense, wet habitats. Listen for its loud, raucous calls, which are often the first sign of its presence. Patience is needed to glimpse it through the foliage.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Active during daylight hours, often heard vocalizing from within dense cover.
This species is highly adapted to its swampy environment, often seen moving through dense palm thickets and vegetation, using its strong legs to clamber rather than fly long distances.
