Spotted
A medium-sized cuckoo-dove found exclusively on the Bismarck Archipelago. It is characterized by its uniform brown plumage and relatively long tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago (Papua New Guinea), primarily inhabiting lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for a uniformly brown, slender pigeon with a long tail. It can be elusive in dense foliage, so patience and careful scanning of the tree canopy are essential.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging in the canopy or flying between trees. Observations are possible throughout the year.
