Spotted
The Asir Magpie is a rare and geographically restricted species of magpie found in the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. It is distinguished by its glossy black and white plumage and a relatively long tail, often considered a subspecies of the Eurasian Magpie.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Asir Mountains in southwestern Saudi Arabia, primarily found in juniper forests at elevations generally above 2,000 meters.
How to spot
Spotting this bird requires visiting its specific high-altitude juniper forest habitat. Look for it foraging on the ground or perching on tree branches. Its typical magpie calls can help locate it.
When to spot
Present year-round. Observations are best during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early mornings and late afternoons, when they are actively foraging.
