Spotted
The Fairy Pitta is a highly attractive and endangered migratory bird, adorned with brilliant greens, blues, and a chestnut crown. It breeds in East Asia and winters in Southeast Asia, often in forested habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in dense broadleaf forests in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and parts of China; winters in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Often found in mature lowland forests.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, clear 'kwah-ho' call. Scan the forest floor and low branches, especially in areas with leaf litter. They are shy and require patient, quiet observation. Consult local birding groups for recent sightings.
When to spot
During spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) migration periods, and during its wintering season (November-March) in Southeast Asia. Early morning and late afternoon are best.

Its conservation status is a major concern, primarily due to habitat loss and degradation in both its breeding and wintering grounds, making every sighting a significant event.
