Spotted
Wallace's Fairywren is a small, colorful bird found in the lowland forests of New Guinea. It is known for its distinctive plumage, particularly the male's bright blue and black patterns.
Where to spot
Lowland rainforests, forest edges, and secondary growth in New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for them foraging in the understory and lower canopy of dense forests. They often move in small parties, so observing one might lead to spotting others. Listen for their distinctive chattering calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often more easily seen in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging is intensified.
