Spotted
The Highland Robin is a species endemic to New Guinea, found at higher elevations and distinguished by its subtly varied dark plumage. It is a secretive bird of dense montane habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highlands of New Guinea, found in upper montane rainforests and moss forests, typically at elevations above 2,000 meters.
How to spot
Focus on the understory of dense montane forests. It blends well with the shadows, so look for subtle movements. Its calls are soft and can be challenging to pinpoint.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons, but its elusive nature demands patience.
This robin often forages alone, moving stealthily through the lower strata of the forest, picking off insects from foliage and the ground.
