Long-billed Wren-Babbler

Pterorhinus lanceolatus

The Long-billed Wren-Babbler (Pterorhinus lanceolatus) is a small, secretive bird found in the dense undergrowth of montane forests in the eastern Himalayas. It is known for its distinctive long bill and rich, melodious song. This species is typically found foraging on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. The Long-billed Wren-Babbler is often heard before it is seen, as it tends to remain hidden within the thick vegetation. Its population is believed to be declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
