Spotted
The Spectacled Laughingthrush (Yellow-throated) is a medium-sized, somewhat plain-looking laughingthrush, distinguished by a subtle pale eye-ring or spectacles and a yellow wash on the throat. It is a social bird, typically found in small groups foraging in dense undergrowth. This species is endemic to Borneo.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo. It inhabits dense undergrowth in primary and secondary broadleaf evergreen forests, often at lower to mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its chattering and whistling calls, often heard from within dense cover. Be patient and watch for movements in the undergrowth. The subtle pale eye-ring and yellow throat are important for identification.
When to spot
Resident throughout Borneo and can be observed year-round. It is most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, when its calls are more likely to be heard.
The genus name *Pterorhinus* means 'winged nose' or 'feather-nosed', though this feature is not particularly prominent on this species.
