The Spectacled Spiderhunter is a small, greenish passerine easily identified by its prominent yellow eye-rings, resembling spectacles. It is an active forager, feeding on nectar and small invertebrates.
Where to spot
Native to Southeast Asia, ranging from Thailand and Malaysia to Indonesia. Typically found in various forest types, including primary and secondary forests, and sometimes gardens.
How to spot
Identify it by its distinct yellow eye-rings and long, curved bill. Scan flowering plants and listen for its high-pitched chirps or trills as it flits between branches.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round. It is most active during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings and late afternoons, when flowers are abundant.
