Spotted
The White-browed Crake (Poliolimnas cinereus) is a small, widespread waterbird found across much of Asia and Australasia. It has a distinctive white supercilium and greyish plumage, typically frequenting open wetland habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread across Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea, and northern Australia. Found in a variety of freshwater wetlands, including marshes, swamps, rice paddies, and pond edges.
How to spot
Look for its small size, grey body, and prominent white eyebrow. They are often seen foraging along the edge of vegetation in open water or on floating debris. Listen for their high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round, most active during early morning and late afternoon, often coming out into the open to feed.
Despite its broad distribution, the White-browed Crake is often overlooked due to its small size and habit of moving quietly through dense vegetation, making it a rewarding sighting for birdwatchers.
