The Mountain Serin is a small, streaky finch with a yellowish wash on its underparts, adapted to high-altitude environments.
Where to spot
Found in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and the Philippines. It inhabits montane forests, forest edges, and clearings at high elevations.
How to spot
Scan forest edges and clearings in montane areas. Listen for their distinctive, often high-pitched song. They can be quite active, flitting between branches.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which varies by region but is often tied to the rainy season.
