Spotted
The Arabian Golden-winged Grosbeak is a large, stout-billed finch with a striking yellow patch on its wing and a dark, heavy bill. Males are generally brown with a yellowish wash.
Where to spot
Endemic to the mountains of southwestern Arabian Peninsula, specifically Yemen and southwestern Saudi Arabia. It inhabits Juniper forests and dense wadi vegetation at high elevations.
How to spot
Explore mountain wadis and juniper forests. Look for them feeding on seeds and fruits in trees or on the ground. The yellow wing patch and heavy bill are key identifiers.
When to spot
Present year-round in its restricted mountainous range. Most active during the breeding season (spring/summer).

Its exceptionally strong bill allows it to crack open hard-cased seeds, nuts, and even larger fruits found in its specialized habitat.
