Spectacled Fulvetta

The spectacled fulvetta (Fulvetta ruficapilla) is a bird species in the family Paradoxornithidae. Like the other typical fulvettas, it was long included in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe or in the Sylviidae. It is found in China. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. Mating and breeding They breed from March to June. They lay clutches of 2-3 white eggs, which they incubate for 13-14 days in nests made of tree bark, withered stems, hair, thin plastic threads, and plastic sheets. (Wikipedia, general species account).

Both parents participate in incubation. The hatchlings nest for 12-14 days. Parents take turns taking care of hatchlings. Babblers and their close allies are generally active passerines of forest, scrub or undergrowth. Many travel in pairs, family parties or mixed-species flocks while searching foliage, bark and leaf litter for invertebrates, sometimes adding fruit or seeds. Voice and social behaviour are often useful identification clues. These are family-level notes rather than Vietnam-specific breeding measurements (general babbler ecology).
