Spotted
The Blue Eared Pheasant is a striking large pheasant known for its slate-blue to grey plumage, distinctive white ear tufts, and a bright red facial patch. It is native to the mountains of central China.
Where to spot
Found in high-altitude forests, scrubland, and rocky alpine meadows in central China. They prefer areas with a mix of dense cover and open ground.
How to spot
Look for groups of these large, blue-grey birds moving through the undergrowth or foraging on open slopes. Their distinctive appearance makes them relatively easy to identify if seen clearly. Use binoculars and maintain a respectful distance.
When to spot
Year-round, but potentially more visible in winter when flocks might forage in more open areas. The breeding season in spring also offers opportunities to observe courtship displays. Best during early morning or late afternoon.

Unlike many pheasants, the Blue Eared Pheasant is highly social and often seen foraging in large flocks, especially outside the breeding season, which provides them with better protection against predators.
