The Palawan Babbler is a distinctive species endemic to Palawan and nearby islands in the Philippines. It is characterized by its dull plumage and secretive habits within dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to Palawan and adjacent smaller islands in the Philippines. It inhabits lowland primary and secondary evergreen forests, preferring dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, whistled calls. Look for a small, dull brownish bird moving quietly through dense foliage near the ground. Patience and careful searching are often required.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be challenging to see due to its skulking nature.
As an island endemic, the Palawan Babbler is a key part of the unique avian biodiversity of the Palawan faunal region.
