Spotted
The Blue-naped Pitta is a vibrantly colored yet elusive forest bird found in Southeast Asia. Its striking plumage, featuring a bright blue nape and rich earthy tones, makes it a highly sought-after species by birdwatchers.
Where to spot
Humid broadleaf forests, dense bamboo thickets, and evergreen jungles in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often repeated whistling call, as it's typically heard before seen. Remain patient and scan the forest floor, especially near fallen leaves and roots. A quiet approach and a hide can increase chances.
When to spot
Year-round in its native range, primarily during the breeding season (typically March-August) when males are more vocal. Best seen in the early morning or late afternoon.

Despite its vivid colors, the Blue-naped Pitta is incredibly shy and spends most of its time hidden on the forest floor, making it notoriously difficult to observe in the wild.
