Spotted
The Grey-breasted Spiderhunter is a small, rather drab member of the sunbird family, known for its specialized bill. It is adept at feeding on nectar from flowers and extracting spiders from their webs.
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, including countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines. Inhabits lowland and montane forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive long, decurved bill and duller plumage compared to other sunbirds. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated calls while it actively forages among flowers and foliage.
When to spot
Year-round, primarily active during daylight hours. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging activity is high.
Unlike many sunbirds with vibrant, iridescent plumages, spiderhunters typically have muted colors, relying more on camouflage in their forest habitats.
