How to spot
Look for it perched on rocks or flying in and out of crevices. Its habitat specificity is a key identification clue. Listen for its calls, which can echo in its rocky surroundings.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active during the day, particularly early morning, as it forages around its rocky habitat.

As its name suggests, this chat has a peculiar preference for nesting and roosting within caves and rocky crevices, a rare behavior among its relatives, and often forages near these sites.
