Spotted
The Edwards's Rosefinch is a striking finch found in the mountainous regions of Asia. Males are distinguished by their rich pinkish-red plumage, while females are more subtly streaked brown.
Where to spot
Look for this species in the Himalayas and adjacent mountain ranges, including parts of China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. They prefer scrubland, rhododendron forests, and clearings at high elevations.
How to spot
Scan dense shrubbery and forest edges. Listen for their distinctive calls, which can help pinpoint their location. Patience is key, as they are often shy.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when males are most vocal and active. They may descend to lower elevations in winter.

Despite their bright coloration, Edwards's Rosefinches can be quite elusive, often blending into the dense undergrowth of their high-altitude habitats.
