Bico-longo-de-Pulitzer

The Pulitzer’s longbill, Macrosphenus pulitzeri, is a small insectivorous bird found only in Angola.
Its discreet plumage and preference for the forest understorey make it difficult to observe. It moves among leaves, branches and climbing plants in search of insects and other small invertebrates.
Cumbira supports an important population of this species, with researchers recording encouraging numbers during surveys carried out in the forest.
For birdwatchers, the Pulitzer’s longbill is one of the most sought-after species in the region. For scientists, it is an indicator of the quality and continuity of the vegetation within the forest.
