Did you hear that? 👀

The Violet Cuckoo may be tiny and slow-moving, but it sure knows how to make an entrance! 🎶

They are easier to hear than spot, with their sharp “chom-wit!” call and dramatic descending trills—often belted out mid-flight! ✨

Meet the Buff-rumped Woodpecker, a tiny yet striking bird of Borneo’s lowland forests! 🌿🔎

This charming woodpecker is often seen foraging in pairs, exploring thin branches and bark crevices in search of food.

Males such as this handsome gentlebird in the photo, sport a subtle red “moustache” stripe, adding to their unique look.

Listen for their high chittering calls or rising “pwit!” as they flit through the treetops, sometimes even visiting ant nests or joining mixed flocks.

Keep your eyes (and ears!) open—you might just spot one on your next rainforest adventure! 🐦✨

Listen for its deep “oop-oop-oop” call as it moves through the undergrowth.
