The Striped Wren-babbler is a small, highly secretive 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
Found in Southeast Asia, including Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Inhabits dense lowland evergreen forests, particularly swamp forests and areas with thick undergrowth.
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
Resident year-round. Best observed during the breeding season (typically spring/early summer) when males are most vocal. Mornings are generally the most active period.
