Spotted
The Plain-throated Sunbird is a relatively drab species, mostly dull olive-green or yellowish, lacking the prominent iridescent throat of many sunbirds. It is found in forested habitats.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including parts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines, inhabiting primary and secondary forests, forest edges, and plantations.
How to spot
Due to its camouflaged plumage, it can be difficult to spot. Listen for its high-pitched calls and scan the forest foliage carefully for subtle movements. Patience is essential.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Often observed foraging quietly in the forest understory or mid-story, particularly in the mornings.

Despite its 'plain' appearance, this sunbird plays an important ecological role in pollinating various forest plants, especially those that don't rely on flashy flowers to attract pollinators.
