The Japanese Accentor is a small passerine bird primarily found in the mountainous regions of Japan, with some populations on nearby islands. It is a secretive forest dweller, often heard before seen.
Where to spot
Endemic to Japan, found in mountainous areas, particularly in coniferous and mixed forests, subalpine scrub, and sometimes descends to lower elevations in winter.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, rather high-pitched song and calls. While it can be elusive, it may forage along forest edges or near clearings. Patience and quiet observation are key.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Breeding season (spring/summer) is a good time to hear its song, but it can be found throughout the year.
