The Rufous-fronted Babbler is a medium-sized babbler characterized by its warm rufous forehead and distinct facial markings. It is a secretive bird, often found in dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in parts of Southeast Asia, including Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. It inhabits lowland and submontane evergreen forests, preferring dense undergrowth, bamboo, and often rocky areas.
How to spot
Look for its rufous forehead and pale eye-ring. It moves quietly through dense foliage near the ground. Listen for its soft, whistled calls, which can be hard to pinpoint.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the breeding season, with activity peaking in the early morning and late afternoon.
