The Prigogine's Greenbul is found in eastern Congo, near Beni and on the Lendu Plateau. Check out an article in "African Bird Club" of a trip to the Lendu Plateau in search of the Prigogine's Greenbul. A big thanks to "The Birds of Africa, vol. 1 - 5 (Keith, Urban & Fry)" and especially the superb artist Martin Woodcock, for the use of their drawings on the above page. More

Prigogine's Greenbul is mainly known from the Beni - Butembo area north-west of Lake Edward (ex Lake Idi Amin) and two observations from the Lendu Plateau. Especially interesting is the fact that the Prigogine's Greenbul has never been observed by ornithologists in the field, but only described from museum-skins. More
