Spotted
The Short-tailed Wren-babbler is a small, secretive ground-dwelling bird with a very short tail, characterized by its plain, cryptic plumage. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Distributed across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Inhabits dense evergreen and broadleaf forests, often in rocky areas with thick undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, loud, and often melancholic song, a series of clear, fluty whistles. Look for its very short tail as it skulks through dense ground cover, often disappearing quickly into foliage or rocky crevices.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Males are more vocal during the breeding season.
