Spotted
The Blue-winged Laughingthrush is a beautiful and common species known for its vibrant blue wing and tail feathers, contrasting with a grey body and distinctive facial markings. It is a highly vocal and social babbler.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Himalayas, mainland Southeast Asia, and southern China. Inhabits montane evergreen and mixed forests, often in dense undergrowth, bamboo, and along forest edges.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinctive 'laughing' calls, which are a hallmark of its presence. Look for groups of birds moving through the understory. The bright blue wings and tail are unmistakable identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Often observed in noisy foraging groups.
Despite its striking colors, the Blue-winged Laughingthrush can be surprisingly difficult to spot in dense foliage, often revealing itself only by its loud, boisterous calls.
