Spotted
The Rufous-necked Gerygone is a distinct small warbler endemic to the New Ireland archipelago in Papua New Guinea. It is characterized by a rufous wash on its neck and breast.
Where to spot
Restricted to the forested and wooded habitats of the New Ireland group of islands in Papua New Guinea.
How to spot
Search in the understory and mid-canopy of forests. Look for its small size and the rufous coloration on its throat and breast. Listening for its characteristic calls is essential for detection.
When to spot
Best observed during daylight hours, particularly in the morning when it is actively foraging and vocalizing.
As an island endemic, this species' unique plumage features distinguish it from other gerygones, reflecting localized evolution.
