Spotted
The Black-headed Penduline-tit is a small, agile bird of Central Asian wetlands, distinguished by its black head and elaborate hanging nest. It is often found near water sources with reeds or tamarisk.
Where to spot
Associated with reed beds, tamarisk thickets, and riparian woodlands near water bodies across Central Asia.
How to spot
Look for it moving through reeds and small trees. The distinctive hanging nest is often easier to spot than the bird itself. Listen for its high-pitched, reedy calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but more conspicuous during the breeding season (spring/summer) when nests are being built and birds are vocal.

Like other penduline-tits, it constructs a remarkable purse-shaped nest, expertly woven from plant fibers and suspended from a branch.
