Spotted
The Grey-bellied Tesia is a small, plump, short-tailed warbler with dark olive-green upperparts and grey underparts. It is a skulking inhabitant of dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and wet forests in hilly and mountainous regions across parts of South and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen primarily for its loud, distinctive song, as it is extremely shy and difficult to see in its dense habitat. Approach quietly and wait for glimpses of movement.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season, often in early mornings.

Tesias are often described as looking like 'feathered ping-pong balls' due to their rotund bodies and very short tails, making them visually unique among warblers.
