The Long-tailed Wren-babbler is a small, distinctive ground-dwelling babbler named for its proportionally long tail. It is a shy bird, often found in dense forest undergrowth where it forages for insects.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Inhabits dense evergreen and broadleaf forests, often in rocky areas with thick undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, and often melancholic song – a series of clear, fluty whistles. Look for its long tail as it skulks through dense ground cover, often perching momentarily on low branches or rocks.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon when it is actively foraging. Males are more vocal during the breeding season.

Its long tail, which is often held cocked, is a key characteristic that helps distinguish it from other similar-looking wren-babblers.
