Spotted
Finsch's Bulbul is a rather drab bulbul, characterized by its uniform olive-brown plumage and often a pale eye. It is a secretive inhabitant of lowland forests.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, specifically in parts of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, inhabiting primary and secondary lowland rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its uniform olive-brown plumage and subtle pale eye. Listening for its calls is often the most effective way to locate it, as it stays hidden in dense foliage.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, but its secretive nature makes observations challenging.
This species is named after Friedrich Hermann Otto Finsch, a German explorer and naturalist. Its subtle coloration allows it to blend seamlessly into the dense forest understory.
