How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often short and repetitive, calls. Focus your observations on very dense low vegetation, especially bamboo thickets or tangled vines, as it hops on the ground.
When to spot
Active year-round. Its calls are most often heard in the early morning and late afternoon.
