Blanford's Snowfinch is a high-altitude specialist found across the vast Tibetan Plateau. It is a robust and well-camouflaged bird adapted to barren, rocky environments.
Where to spot
High-altitude regions of the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent mountain ranges in China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Found in alpine meadows, stony deserts, and rocky slopes.
How to spot
Look for its streaky brown and grey plumage, which blends well with rocks and sparse vegetation. It forages on the ground. Pay attention to its calls and flight patterns.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season when more vocal and active.
This species is named after William Thomas Blanford, a British geologist and naturalist who contributed significantly to the understanding of Asian fauna.
