Spotted
The Spectacled Scrubwren is a small, secretive bird endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea. It is identifiable by its pale eye-ring and often a pale supercilium, giving it a 'spectacled' appearance. This species forages in the dense undergrowth and on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of the central highlands of New Guinea, typically at elevations between 1,200 to 2,800 meters.
How to spot
Look for the pale eye-ring and, if present, a pale supercilium. It is a shy bird, so patience is needed to observe it moving through dense undergrowth on the forest floor. Listen for its soft, often hesitant calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its montane forest habitat. Active during daylight hours.
The pale eye-ring is a subtle but consistent feature that helps distinguish it from other similar-looking scrubwrens in its range.
