The Blue-winged Pitta is a strikingly colorful migratory bird, easily identified by its vibrant blue wing patches contrasting with a green body and rufous underparts. It is a common visitor to Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Breeds in Northeast Asia; winters across Southeast Asia. Found in a variety of habitats including forests, mangroves, gardens, and plantations, especially during migration.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, often repeated 'taew-laew' call. Observe the ground in shaded areas, particularly near leaf litter or thickets. They can be surprisingly bold in urban settings during migration.
When to spot
Best observed during its migratory periods (April-May for northbound, September-October for southbound) or during its wintering season (October-April) in Southeast Asia, when they are more widespread.
