Spotted
The Black-throated Wren-Babbler is a small, secretive babbler found in the high-altitude forests of the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia. It is distinguished by its dark throat and streaked plumage, adapted for life in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas and mountainous regions of Southeast Asia, including parts of Bhutan, northeastern India, Myanmar, and China. Inhabits dense montane evergreen and bamboo forests.
How to spot
Listen intensely for its distinctive, often explosive, short bursts of calls. Look for it foraging quietly on or near the forest floor, often in pairs. Its dark throat and heavily streaked body are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (spring/early summer) and typically in the early morning and late afternoon.
Despite its skulking habits, the Black-throated Wren-Babbler has a surprisingly loud and far-carrying territorial call, which can be a key to locating it in dense habitat.
