Spotted
The Black-spectacled Brushfinch is a striking bird of the Andes, characterized by its prominent black eye-patch resembling spectacles and a rufous crown. It is a secretive inhabitant of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of central Peru. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its prominent black eye-patch, rufous crown, and white throat. It typically forages low in dense vegetation, often on the ground. Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, song.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Its distinct 'spectacled' appearance gives it a unique charm and makes it relatively easy to identify if a clear view is obtained.
