The Mountain Scimitar-babbler is a handsome species characterized by its bold white supercilium and long, curved bill. It is a resident of high-elevation montane forests, often encountered in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Distributed across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo). Inhabits montane evergreen and temperate forests.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, clear, and repetitive whistled song, often a series of 'pom-pom-pom' notes. Look for its prominent white eyebrow and curved bill as it forages in dense forest undergrowth or on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early mornings.
