Spotted
The Black Magpie-Robin is a fascinating and relatively rare species, characterized by its predominantly black plumage. It is an inhabitant of dense forest undergrowth on a single Philippine island.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Cebu in the central Philippines. It is found in remnant patches of limestone forest and secondary growth.
How to spot
Patience and stealth are key. Look for its dark silhouette moving through dense low vegetation. Its calls and songs are distinctive within its limited range and can help locate it.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round, but often challenging to find due to its rarity and shy nature. Early mornings are generally best for observation.
Its almost entirely black coloration distinguishes it from most other magpie-robins, which typically show prominent white markings. This unique plumage might be an adaptation to its specific habitat.
