The Torrent Flyrobin is a distinctive species adapted to life near fast-flowing water in New Guinea. It has a unique foraging strategy, often perching on rocks and logs by streams to catch aquatic insects.
Where to spot
Found in the highlands of New Guinea, specifically along swift-flowing streams and rivers within montane rainforests.
How to spot
Look along the edges of mountain streams and rivers. It frequently perches on exposed rocks, often wagging its tail. Its close association with water makes it relatively predictable to find in the right habitat.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Most active during the day, particularly when insect activity near the water is high.

This robin has specialized, sturdy legs and feet that allow it to navigate slippery rocks and logs along swift mountain streams, a niche not occupied by many other robins.
