Spotted
The Enggano Malkoha is a rare and endemic cuckoo species found only on Enggano Island, Indonesia. It is similar in appearance to the Chestnut-bellied Malkoha but is recognized as a distinct species due to its isolated range and subtle morphological differences.
Where to spot
Strictly endemic to Enggano Island, off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, inhabiting its remaining lowland forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Requires a dedicated trip to Enggano Island. Look for it foraging quietly in the forest canopy. Its calls are likely similar to related malkohas but may have subtle distinctions.
When to spot
Observation opportunities are best during daylight, particularly early mornings or late afternoons, when birds are most active in foraging.
