Spotted
The White-fronted Wattle-eye is a small, active African forest bird distinguished by a white forehead and a prominent, colorful eye-wattle. Males have black upperparts and white underparts.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, including parts of Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo. Inhabits lowland rainforests and dense secondary forests.
How to spot
Search the understory and mid-story of dense forests. The white forehead patch is a key feature, along with the prominent eye-wattle. Listen for their short, sharp, and often buzzing calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours.
The White-fronted Wattle-eye typically builds a small, neat cup-shaped nest in a tree fork, often decorated with lichen or moss for camouflage.
