The Fire-capped Tit is a tiny, active tit species found in the Himalayan region and Southeast Asia, named for the male's striking orange-red crown. It is a restless inhabitant of forest canopies.
Where to spot
Found in the Himalayas, parts of China, and Southeast Asia, inhabiting montane forests, particularly broadleaf and mixed forests.
How to spot
Scan the canopy of montane forests. Look for its small size and constant movement. The male's orange cap is a key identification feature. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round, though some populations may make altitudinal movements. Most active during the day, especially mornings.

Despite its diminutive size, the Fire-capped Tit is a highly energetic forager, often hanging upside down from twigs to access hidden insects and spiders.
