How to spot
Listen for its clear, melodious, and varied whistling calls. Look for it moving secretively through dense foliage. Its bright wing patches and yellow eye-ring are key identification features, though often obscured.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/early summer). Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon.
