Banded Broadbill
Eurylaimus javanicus
The adult Banded Broadbill inhabits shaded lowland and foothill rainforest across parts of Southeast Asia. It waits quietly on a perch before making short flights to seize insects, spiders, and occasionally small vertebrates or fruit. Its broad, flattened bill is well suited to catching prey in foliage and air. The boldly patterned adult is often heard giving distinctive calls from the forest understory.
