Spotted
The Sooty Robin is a distinctive species from New Guinea, characterized by its dark, sooty-black plumage, often with a subtle gloss. It is a bird of montane forest understory.
Where to spot
Endemic to the mountains of New Guinea, found in montane rainforests and moss forests, typically in the understory and on the forest floor.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive song in montane forests. Look carefully in the dense undergrowth and on fallen logs. Its dark plumage can make it hard to spot in the dim forest light.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when its calls are more likely to be heard.
Despite its dark appearance, the Sooty Robin has a surprisingly melodious and far-carrying song, often heard echoing through the damp montane forests.
