Spotted
The Buru Myzomela (M. boiei) is a small, dusky honeyeater endemic to the island of Buru in Indonesia. It is characterized by its overall dull plumage with subtle darker markings.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Buru, one of the larger islands in the Moluccas, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas and forest edges.
How to spot
Identify by its small size, dusky olive-brown upperparts, paler underparts, and a slender, decurved bill. It forages actively in flowering trees and shrubs. Its restricted range is a key identification pointer. Listen for thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active during the day, feeding on nectar and small insects. As a resident species, it can be observed year-round within its island habitat.
This species represents the unique avifauna of Buru, an island within the Wallacea region, which is a biogeographical melting pot of Asian and Australasian species.
