Jerdon's Babbler is a rare and localized species found in specific tall grass and reedbed habitats in parts of South and Southeast Asia. It is notoriously difficult to observe due to its shy nature.
Where to spot
Found in scattered populations across parts of northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and southwestern China. Restricted to dense, tall grasslands, reedbeds, and swamps.
How to spot
It is extremely shy and often stays hidden deep within dense vegetation. Listen for its distinctive, low-pitched calls. A patient approach and observation from a distance are crucial for a glimpse.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is most active at dawn and dusk. Due to its elusive nature, observing it might require visiting during the breeding season (spring-summer) when males are more vocal.
