Spotted
The Palawan Tree Babbler is a shy and elusive bird endemic to Palawan Island in the Philippines. It is characterized by its dull, cryptic plumage that provides excellent camouflage within its forest habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to Palawan, Philippines, found in lowland primary and mature secondary forests, especially in dense undergrowth, bamboo stands, and along rocky slopes.
How to spot
Listen for its quiet, somewhat mournful calls emanating from the dense vegetation. Scan the forest floor and low-lying shrubs carefully. Its plain brownish plumage makes it difficult to spot, so focus on movement and calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Observation requires patience due to its skulking habits.
This species has a distinctive, slightly down-curved bill, which is perfectly adapted for probing into crevices and leaf litter to find insects and other invertebrates.
