The Annam Wren-Babbler is a small, secretive babbler endemic to the Annamite mountain range of Vietnam and Laos. It is characterized by its skulking behavior and preference for dense, damp forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Annamite mountain range, specifically central and southern Vietnam and adjacent Laos. Inhabits dense montane evergreen forests, often in damp areas with thick undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Listen carefully for its soft, often repeated, hooting or trilling calls coming from deep within the vegetation. Look for slow, deliberate movements on the forest floor. Binoculars are essential for glimpsing its camouflaged form.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Observation is challenging due to its reclusive nature and dense habitat.
