The Uluguru Bushshrike is a critically endangered and extremely localized species, known only from a tiny area in the Uluguru Mountains of Tanzania. It is a large, secretive bird with a unique blend of green, yellow, and grey plumage.
Where to spot
Endemic to the dense montane forests of the Uluguru Mountains in eastern Tanzania.
How to spot
Requires dedicated search efforts within its very limited, high-altitude habitat. Listen for any unique vocalizations, though these are rarely documented. Patience and local expert guidance are essential.
When to spot
Observation is highly opportunistic due to its extreme rarity and restricted range. Active during daylight.
The Uluguru Bushshrike is often referred to as a 'ghost species' due to its extreme rarity and elusiveness, making it one of the most challenging birds to find in Africa.
