How to spot
Males are unmistakable with their vibrant chestnut and yellow plumage, often seen in open woodlands, scrub, and agricultural fields. Listen for their short, simple, yet distinctive song.
When to spot
Most commonly observed during spring and autumn migration (typically May and September-October) as it passes through various habitats, or during winter in its southern range.
