Where to spot
Native to Southeast Asia, ranging from the Indian subcontinent eastward through Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It inhabits dense undergrowth of tropical and subtropical forests.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, clear, and complex song, which is often heard before the bird is seen. Look for it perched in dense vegetation, often flicking its long tail. Patience is key due to its shy nature.
