Hume's Babbler is a small, active babbler named after the British ornithologist Allan Octavian Hume. It is characterized by subtle streaking and is often found in dense undergrowth of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Found in parts of continental Southeast Asia, including parts of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It inhabits lowland evergreen forests, particularly areas with dense undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Look for its subtle streaking and active movements in dense foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated calls, which are the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during early morning and late afternoon, often as part of mixed-species foraging flocks.
Allan Octavian Hume, for whom this bird is named, was also known as the 'Father of Indian Ornithology' for his extensive work on the birds of the Indian subcontinent.
