Where to spot
Inhabits open country, agricultural areas, and human settlements across the Tibetan Plateau, parts of central Asia, and the Himalayas, typically at high altitudes.
How to spot
Look for this large, black and white bird in open landscapes, often near villages or cultivated land. Its distinctive chattering calls and undulating flight pattern are good identification clues.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, particularly visible when foraging in open fields or perching on prominent structures.
