The Bar-throated Laughingthrush is a medium-sized species characterized by distinctive dark barring on its throat and breast, contrasting with a generally brownish body. These highly vocal and social birds move in small, active groups through dense forest undergrowth. It is native to the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayas, northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of southern China. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and secondary growth in evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, primarily at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for their characteristic loud, chattering, and often 'laughing' calls. Look for groups actively foraging in dense undergrowth or low branches. The barred throat is the most important identification feature.
When to spot
Resident throughout its extensive range. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to observe them as they forage. They are particularly vocal during the breeding season.
