For the first time in 170 years, a bird that has been “missing” from the Asian wild has reappeared in Indonesia.
The black-browed babbler, whose scientific name is Malacocincla perspicillata, is so rare that only one specimen was ever procured and documented, and that was between 1843 and 1848, according to a paper that was published in the Oriental Bird Club’s journal Birding Asia.
