Spotted
The Grey Sibia is a sleek and elegant babbler found in the montane forests of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its uniform grey plumage, slender body, and long tail, often with a subtle white wing patch.
Where to spot
Widespread from the Himalayas (Nepal, Bhutan, northeastern India) eastward through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Inhabits montane evergreen forests, oak and rhododendron forests, at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive plain grey plumage and long tail as it moves gracefully through the canopy and mid-story. Listen for its clear, whistled calls. The uniform grey color is the key identification feature.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often observed singly or in pairs, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks.

This species is highly arboreal, rarely descending to the ground, and spends most of its time gleaning insects from foliage or hovering to take them in flight.
