The Lanceolated Jay is a distinctive Asian jay found in the Himalayas and surrounding hill ranges. It is characterized by its long, pointed head feathers and greyish plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits temperate forests and open woodlands in the Himalayas, from Pakistan through India, Nepal, Bhutan, and into western China.
How to spot
Look for its greyish-brown body, black head, and distinctive long, pointed head feathers. Listen for its harsh, grating calls, which are typical of jays. It can be found in the canopy or foraging on the ground.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often seen in small groups foraging in trees.

The elongated, lance-shaped feathers on its head give it a unique, somewhat shaggy appearance.
