Spotted
The Brown-banded Rail (Lewinia mirifica) is a rare and poorly known rail species endemic to the Philippines. It is found in dense forests and grasslands, often near water.
Where to spot
Dense forest undergrowth, wet grasslands, and swampy areas on the islands of Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines.
How to spot
Very difficult to observe. Focus on listening for potential calls from dense cover. Requires extensive effort and local knowledge to even hope to find this species.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observation is extremely challenging due to its rarity and secretive nature; dawn and dusk might offer slight chances for brief sightings.
This species is one of the more elusive rails in the Philippines, with limited information available on its population status and specific habitat requirements due to its secretive habits.
