How to spot
Look for its grey cheeks and the flash of orange-red on the underwing when it flies. Listen for its high-pitched, chattering calls. Requires patient searching in its diminishing habitat.
When to spot
Best seen in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging. Observation is challenging due to low population numbers. It is a resident species.
