The Broad-billed Warbler is a distinctive warbler with a broad, flattened bill, bright yellow underparts, a rufous crown, and olive-green upperparts. It is a secretive forest resident.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense broadleaf evergreen forests, bamboo thickets, and rhododendron undergrowth in mountainous regions across parts of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing song. Look for its distinctive bill shape and rufous crown. It often forages low in dense vegetation, so patience and quiet approach are needed.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident high-altitude range. Most vocal during the breeding season.

Its unusually broad bill is an adaptation for catching insects in flight or gleaning them from broad leaves, differentiating its foraging strategy.
