The Limestone Wren-babbler is a secretive, ground-dwelling babbler specialized for life in limestone karst habitats. Its cryptic plumage blends seamlessly with rocky terrain.
Where to spot
Found in mainland Southeast Asia, including parts of Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and southern China. It strictly inhabits limestone karst forests, cliffs, and rocky areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, and often melancholic song, which is the best way to locate it. Visually, look for a small, brownish bird moving furtively among rocks and dense vegetation on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Males are more vocal during the breeding season.
