Not yet spotted on Fladder

The Grey-headed Bullfinch is a relatively plain bullfinch, distinguished by its grey head and a general lack of bright colors compared to some relatives. Males have a pinkish wash on the underparts.

Where to spot

Found across East Asia, including parts of Russia, China, Korea, and Japan. It prefers coniferous and mixed forests, often at higher elevations.

How to spot

Scan the canopy and mid-story of dense forests. Listen for their soft, flute-like calls. Patience is key due to their shy nature and muted plumage.

When to spot

Visible year-round in its resident range. Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males are more vocal. Winter sightings can be opportunistically found in more open areas.
