Spotted
The Short-tailed Wren-Babbler is a small, elusive species endemic to the Annamite mountain range of Laos and Vietnam. It is characterized by its very short tail and mottled, cryptic plumage, perfectly camouflaged for its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Annamite mountain range in central Laos and Vietnam, inhabiting dense, humid montane evergreen forests, typically in the undergrowth or on the forest floor.
How to spot
Listen carefully for its quiet, often high-pitched calls emanating from the dense vegetation. Look for subtle movements in the leaf litter or among low shrubs. Its very short tail is a crucial identifying feature if you get a brief view.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active at dawn and dusk. Due to its secretive nature, observation requires considerable patience and quiet.
This wren-babbler's extremely short tail gives it a distinctive 'blob-like' appearance, making it unique among its relatives when glimpsed scrambling through undergrowth.
