Spotted
The Rufous-sided Gerygone is a small, active warbler found in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. It is characterized by the distinctive rufous or reddish-brown coloration on its flanks.
Where to spot
Occurs in forest, woodland, and scrub habitats across islands such as Flores, Timor, and Sumba in the Lesser Sundas.
How to spot
Look for its small size and the key identification feature of rufous flanks. It typically forages in the mid-canopy. Learning its short, warbling song can aid in detection.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when it can be seen foraging and heard vocalizing.
