Spotted
The Black-chinned Yuhina is a lively and widespread yuhina species found in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is easily identified by its prominent black chin.
Where to spot
Ranges from the Himalayas (Nepal, Bhutan, northeast India) through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Inhabits montane evergreen forests, especially broadleaf forests with bamboo.
How to spot
Look for its distinct black chin patch, often contrasting with a white throat and spiky crest. Usually seen in active flocks, foraging in the mid-canopy. Listen for their distinctive, often chirping and 'tinkling' calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during the day. Often observed in spring and summer during the breeding season when vocalizations are more frequent.
