The Blue-capped Rock Thrush is a stunning species, where the male features a brilliant blue cap and throat, a black mask, and a chestnut belly. Females are duller, with scaly underparts.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, inhabiting rocky areas, open woodlands, and cultivation, typically in hilly or mountainous regions.
How to spot
Look on rocky slopes, open patches in forests, and along terraced fields. Males often perch conspicuously on rocks or low branches. The male's bright blue cap and chestnut belly are key identification features.
When to spot
Year-round resident in many areas, but some populations undertake altitudinal migration. Most easily observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males are singing.
