Spotted
The Tit-babbler, also known as the Rufous-backed Sibia, is a striking species with a rufous back and a distinctive white supercilium. It's a highly vocal bird, frequently encountered in forest edges and secondary growth.
Where to spot
Native to Southeast Asia, specifically found in Sumatra, Indonesia, where it inhabits montane forests and forest edges. It prefers areas with dense undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Look for its rufous back and clear white eyebrow, which contrasts with its dark cap. Listen for its loud, melodious, and varied song, as it often sings from conspicuous perches at forest edges or in dense bamboo.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its native habitat. Activity peaks during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings and late afternoons.
Despite its common name 'Tit-babbler,' which might suggest a small, tit-like appearance, it is actually a relatively large and active babbler with a prominent tail.
