Spotted
The Natewa Silktail is a distinct species of silktail found only on Vanua Levu, Fiji. It is similar to its Taveuni counterpart but with subtle differences in plumage details and distribution.
Where to spot
Endemic to Vanua Levu Island, Fiji, found in rainforests, particularly in the Natewa Peninsula.
How to spot
Distinguish from the Taveuni Silktail by its slightly smaller white rump patch and geographical location. Look for its glossy black plumage and unique tail structure as it moves through dense foliage.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often foraging in the understory.
Like its close relative, the Natewa Silktail also possesses unique, stiff 'silktail' feathers, which are a characteristic feature of the genus.
