The Black-breasted Weaver is a striking species from South Asia, where breeding males display a prominent black breast and cap, contrasting with a golden-yellow body.

Where to spot

Found in northern and eastern parts of the Indian subcontinent, inhabiting grasslands, marshy areas, and cultivated fields, often near water.

How to spot

Seek them out in reedy areas and tall grasslands. The male's distinct black breast band and cap make it relatively easy to identify during the breeding season. Look for their hanging nests.

When to spot

Visible year-round. The breeding season, typically during the monsoon (wet) months, is when males are in their most vibrant plumage and engaged in nesting activities.
