Spotted
The Broad-billed Fairywren is a small, relatively dull-colored fairywren with a distinctive broad bill, adapted for its insectivorous diet. It inhabits the lowland forests of New Guinea.
Where to spot
Lowland rainforests, often near streams or swampy areas, in New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for them quietly foraging in the dense undergrowth and mid-story of humid forests. They can be elusive, so patience is required. Listen for their subtle calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly in the mornings when foraging is at its peak.
Its broad bill is unusual for a fairywren, suggesting a specialized feeding strategy, possibly for gleaning insects from leaves or bark.
