Spotted
The Papuan Grassbird is a large, terrestrial warbler found in the highlands of New Guinea. It is characterized by its long tail and extremely secretive habits, spending most of its time hidden in dense grasses.
Where to spot
Dense grass, tall ferns, and undergrowth in montane grasslands and forest edges in the highlands of New Guinea.
How to spot
Focus on listening for its unique, often loud calls, as visual sightings are rare. Patience is paramount, scanning dense vegetation for any subtle movement or a fleeting glimpse.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident. Early morning and late afternoon can be good for hearing its calls.
Despite its considerable size, this grassbird's preference for dense ground cover makes it exceptionally hard to find, earning it a reputation as one of New Guinea's most elusive birds.
