Buru Bush Warbler

Locustella disturbans

The Buru bush warbler, known scientifically as Locustella disturbans, is a member of the Old World warbler family, Locustellidae. This elusive bird is a denizen of the forest floor, where it skulks in the undergrowth, often hidden from sight.

Identification Tips

While observing this species can be challenging due to its secretive nature, one may identify the Buru bush warbler by its behavior of foraging within the leaf litter of the forest floor. Detailed physical descriptions for identification are scarce, but as with many warblers, look for a small, inconspicuous bird with a likely affinity for dense cover.

Habitat

The Buru bush warbler is endemic to the island of Buru in Indonesia. It has adapted to life on the forest floor, where it can be found amidst the dense undergrowth of its tropical habitat.

Distribution

This species is confined to the island of Buru, part of the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Its presence is a testament to the unique avian diversity that thrives on this remote island.

Conservation Status

The conservation status of the Buru bush warbler has not been specified in the provided content. However, as an endemic species, its well-being is inherently tied to the health of its limited habitat on Buru Island.

In the absence of information on behavior, song and calls, breeding, similar species, diet and feeding, we must leave these sections out of our field guide entry. Observations and studies of the Buru bush warbler may in time fill these gaps, enriching our understanding of this enigmatic bird.

Friendly and helps to identify birds
Great birding app, good for logging your sightings, also has nice species guide. I'm enjoying the social aspect more than I expected, everyone seems friendly and helps to identify unknown birds. Good mix of newbies and experienced users.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??
