The Streaked Wren-babbler is a small, highly elusive babbler with intricate streaked plumage that blends perfectly with its forest floor habitat. It is known for its strong, resonant calls that echo through dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Inhabits dense montane evergreen and temperate forests with a thick understory.
How to spot
Locate it by its distinctive, loud, and melodic song – a series of clear, rising and falling whistles. Visually, it's very shy; look for a small, heavily streaked brown bird moving quickly on or close to the forest floor, often in leaf litter.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season (typically spring/early summer) when males are most vocal. Mornings are generally the most active period.
