Meet the Tawny-necked Babbler – a charming member of the crested babbler family, measuring just 13 cm in length. This petite bird stands out with its distinctive upright brown crest and striking white eye-ring. A bold tawny patch stretches from its shoulder to nape, contrasting beautifully with its brown upperparts. Its throat to under-tail area is white, while the flanks are adorned with dark brown and finely striped in white – making it a truly eye-catching forest dweller.
