Spotted
The Hidden Bulbul is a relatively recently recognized species, characterized by its subtle olive-brown plumage and a tendency to remain concealed within dense forest. Its name reflects its elusive nature.
Where to spot
Found in specific lowland rainforests of Sumatra, inhabiting dense undergrowth and mid-story, particularly in undisturbed primary forest.
How to spot
Due to its rarity and cryptic nature, observation requires dedicated effort in its specific forest habitat. Listening for its unique calls is crucial, as visual identification is difficult.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, but its secretive nature makes observations challenging.
