Spotted
The Tit-hylia is a very small, short-tailed bird with a unique appearance, featuring a bright orange-yellow face and breast contrasting with dark upperparts. It is highly active in the forest canopy.
Where to spot
Found in the canopy and sub-canopy of primary and secondary lowland rainforests across parts of West and Central Africa.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and bright face. It often forages high in the canopy, making binoculars essential. Listen for its high-pitched, almost insect-like vocalizations.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active during daylight hours, often joining mixed-species flocks.
Despite its small size, the Tit-hylia is a surprisingly vocal bird, with a high-pitched, insect-like trill that can be a key to its identification.
