The New Guinea Scrub Robin is a terrestrial bird endemic to the island of New Guinea, known for its ground-dwelling habits and camouflaged plumage. It is typically found in the dense understory of forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Guinea, found in a variety of forest types including lowland rainforest, hill forest, and secondary growth with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Focus on the forest floor and dense undergrowth. Listen for soft rustling sounds in the leaf litter. Its calls are often the best way to detect its presence, though it can be quiet.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, but its secretive nature means it requires patient observation at any time.
This species has a distinctive way of hopping and running on the forest floor, often flicking its tail up and down as it searches for invertebrates in the leaf litter.
