Hodgson's Redstart is a distinctive and common redstart species, characterized by the male's grey head, black face, and bright orange-red underparts. It is a migratory bird often found near water.
Where to spot
Breeds in the Himalayas and mountains of China, migrating south to lower elevations and parts of Southeast Asia for winter, often found along rivers and stream banks.
How to spot
Focus on riparian habitats during winter, looking along rocky stream beds and river banks. In summer, search alpine meadows and shrubland. Its constant tail-ficking and orange underparts are good indicators.
When to spot
Breeds in summer (April-July) in high altitudes. Winters from autumn to spring in lower elevations and more southern regions. Most easily seen during migration or winter.
