Spotted
The Uganda Bristlebill is an olive-green bulbul distinguished by its strong rictal bristles and elusive nature. It prefers the dense undergrowth of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Distributed across parts of Central Africa, found in the understory of primary and mature secondary rainforests, often in swampy or gallery forest habitats.
How to spot
Focus on listening for its distinctive whistling or churring calls, as it's typically hidden deep within vegetation. Look for subtle movements in dense thickets.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its tropical habitat. Most active during daylight hours, particularly early morning and late afternoon.
Despite its common name suggesting a limited range, this species actually occurs across a wider area of Central Africa, highlighting how common names sometimes don't fully capture distribution.
