Spotted
The Malayan Laughingthrush is a striking and vocal babbler endemic to the montane regions of the Malay Peninsula. It is characterized by its dark crown, rufous-chestnut body, and patterned face.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Malay Peninsula, primarily in the mountainous regions of Malaysia and southern Thailand. Inhabits dense montane evergreen forests, particularly areas with bamboo and thick undergrowth, at moderate to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its loud and varied 'laughing' calls, which are a strong indicator of its presence. Look for groups moving through the mid-story and undergrowth. Its dark cap and rufous body are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, often observed in small groups.
This species is known for its complex and varied vocalizations, including loud chuckles, whistles, and deep hooting calls, often given in a coordinated chorus by multiple birds.
