Spotted
The Puff-backed Bulbul is a charming species named for the fluffy white feathers on its lower back, which it can puff up. It has a distinctive dark cap and is typically found in the undergrowth of various forests.
Where to spot
Found in forests, woodlands, and scrubland across Southeast Asia, often in dense vegetation and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Look in the mid-to-lower levels of dense forest. It can be quite secretive, but its distinctive appearance, especially the puffed back, makes it identifiable if seen well. Listen for its melodious song.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species in its range.
The unique 'puff-back' display might be used in courtship, territorial displays, or as a visual signal within its social groups in dense vegetation.
