The Arabian Waxbill is a localized finch primarily found in the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. It is a small, pale brown bird with fine barring and a red bill.
Where to spot
Endemic to the southwestern Arabian Peninsula (Yemen and Saudi Arabia). Inhabits wadis, rocky slopes, and cultivated areas with scattered scrub.
How to spot
Look for it in small flocks foraging for seeds on the ground. Its pale coloration and red bill are helpful identification features in its arid habitat.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging activity is highest.
