The Indian Woodshrike is a small, common bird with plain greyish-brown plumage, a pale belly, and a short, stout bill. It is known for its distinctive, often repetitive, whistling calls.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent, from Pakistan to Myanmar. Found in dry deciduous forests, open woodlands, savannas, and gardens.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, ringing 'whi-whip' or 'kee-wee' calls. Look for it actively gleaning insects from foliage or sallying for them in the mid-story of trees and bushes. Its plain plumage can make it blend in.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, often heard calling.
