Spotted
The Rufous-throated Wren-babbler is a secretive and elusive ground-dwelling babbler with a distinctive rufous throat and cryptic plumage. It's more often heard than seen, typically foraging in dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including Bhutan, Northeast India, northern Myanmar, and parts of China. Inhabits dense montane evergreen forests, particularly in areas with thick undergrowth and rocky terrain.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, and often melancholic song, which is the best way to locate it. Visually, look for a small, brownish bird with a rufous throat moving furtively on or near the forest floor, often flicking its tail.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Patience is key due to its secretive nature.

Its 'wren-babbler' name is apt, as it combines the skulking, ground-dwelling habits of a wren with the complex vocalizations typical of babblers.
