Spotted
The Moustached Wren is a small, secretive wren of Andean cloud forests, characterized by its prominent white supercilium and dark malar stripe, resembling a 'moustache'. It is known for its musical song.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets, along the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, musical song, which often includes rich, clear notes. Look for a small, active wren skulking in dense undergrowth, trying to spot its white eyebrow and dark 'moustache'.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season.
Its common name aptly describes its facial pattern, which is a key distinguishing feature for this often-hidden bird.
