Spotted
The White-hooded Babbler is a striking species named for its prominent white head and neck, contrasting with its dark body. It is a terrestrial babbler, often found in dense undergrowth of lowland forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland primary and secondary evergreen forests, preferring areas with dense undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable white head. It typically forages on the ground, often scratching through leaf litter. Listen for its rather quiet, whistled calls, which are distinct from its more raucous relatives.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when it is most active, often foraging in small groups on the forest floor.
