Spotted
The Bornean Rufous-vented Babbler is an endemic species to Borneo, characterized by its plain brown plumage with a rufous vent. It is a shy resident of dense lowland forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo. It inhabits lowland and submontane primary and secondary evergreen forests, preferring dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often explosive, 'pom-pom-pom-pom' calls. Look for a plain brown bird with a hint of rufous on its undertail coverts, moving quietly on the forest floor.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be challenging to see due to its skulking nature.
Its rufous vent, while subtle, is a key field mark for this particular ground babbler on Borneo.
