Ursula's Sunbird is a small, rather localized species, with males showing a glossy green head and upperparts, a red breast, and a yellow belly. It is found in specific montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Cameroon Line mountains in West-Central Africa, specifically found in montane forests of Bioko Island and parts of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
How to spot
Search for it in the mid-story and canopy of montane forests. Its iridescent plumage is a key identification feature, and its calls can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during mornings when foraging activity is high. Look for it when flowering plants are in bloom.
