Spotted
Finn's Weaver is a large and robust weaver species native to the Indian subcontinent, distinguished by the male's bright yellow plumage with a black mask. It is an endangered species.
Where to spot
Highly localized to scattered populations in grasslands and reedbeds of northern India and Nepal, primarily in the Terai region.
How to spot
Due to its endangered status and preference for dense grass habitat, observation can be challenging. Look in tall grassland areas, particularly near rivers or marshes. Listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Most active and conspicuous during the breeding season, which typically occurs during the monsoon months (June to October) when tall grasses are available for nesting.

This weaver constructs a unique, semi-colonial nest, often with only a few nests in one tree, different from the large colonies of other weavers.
