100

Not yet spotted on Fladder

A small, strikingly marked apalis with a grey head, olive-green back, white underparts, and conspicuous white patches on its wings.

Where to spot

Tropical moist montane forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets, in very restricted areas of East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania).

How to spot

Extremely difficult to observe due to its rarity and dense habitat. Look for the white wing patches if you get a clear view. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid calls. Local expertise is crucial.

When to spot

Year-round resident within its fragmented range. Any observation is a rare and significant event.
