Spotted
The Black-lored Tit is a common and attractive tit species found across South Asia, characterized by its yellow belly, olive-green back, and a distinctive black 'lore' (area between the eye and bill). It is a familiar woodland bird.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, found in deciduous forests, open woodlands, scrub, and urban gardens.
How to spot
Look in almost any wooded habitat. Its yellow underparts and black facial markings are good field marks. Listen for its clear, repetitive 'chip-chip-chip' or 'whee-whee' calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly mornings.
