Spotted
The Scaly-breasted Bulbul is a unique bulbul species named for the prominent scale-like pattern on its breast, which contrasts with its overall olive-green plumage. It is typically found in mature forest environments.
Where to spot
Found in tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests, particularly on Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula.
How to spot
Look in the mid-to-upper canopy of dense forests. Patience is needed as it can be well-camouflaged, but its distinctive breast pattern is unmistakable when seen clearly.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species within its range.
The 'scaly' pattern on its breast is created by dark feather edges and is a key distinguishing feature that helps it stand out from other bulbuls in its range.
