Spotted
The Yellow Flycatcher is a small, vibrant bird, almost entirely bright yellow with olive-green wings and a short tail. It is an active insectivore of dense forest habitats.
Where to spot
Found in dense coastal and lowland evergreen forests, particularly in the undergrowth and mid-stratum, across parts of East Africa.
How to spot
Look for its strikingly yellow body amidst the green foliage. It is often restless and moves quickly. Listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most active during daylight hours, especially in the mornings.

Its intense yellow plumage provides surprisingly good camouflage in the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense forest canopy where it typically resides.
