The Large Wren-Babbler is a rather stout and short-tailed babbler found in the montane forests of Southeast Asia. Despite its name, it's not exceptionally large, but rather robust with a distinctive patterned plumage of rufous-brown and streaking.
Where to spot
Found in montane evergreen forests of mainland Southeast Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, down to the Malay Peninsula. Prefers dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and mossy areas.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, often repeated calls that can betray its presence even when hidden. Look for it creeping quietly through the undergrowth or clinging to moss-covered tree trunks. Its short tail and streaked upperparts are good ID features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when it is most active, often foraging on or near the forest floor.

This species has a remarkable ability to climb and cling to mossy tree trunks and roots, almost like a miniature treecreeper, while foraging for insects.
