Common Tailorbird

A small, active warbler of gardens, scrub and forest edges across South and Southeast Asia, most often detected by its loud, sharp calls before being seen darting through low vegetation. It builds a distinctive nest by stitching leaves together with plant fibre, and is active and vocal throughout the day, with breeding season bringing the most persistent calling. Dense hedgerows and garden shrubbery are reliable places to watch it forage for small insects.
