The Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush is a large, distinctive, and highly vocal species, easily recognized by a prominent black 'necklace' band across its breast. It is a social bird, often encountered in noisy groups foraging in the forest understory. This species is widespread across parts of Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found across a broad range in Southeast Asia, including the Himalayas, northeastern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and parts of southern China. It inhabits evergreen and deciduous forests, bamboo thickets, and dense scrub.
How to spot
Listen intently for their loud, echoing, and often laughing calls, which are the primary way to locate them. Look for groups foraging in the forest undergrowth and mid-story. The black neck band is a key field mark.
When to spot
Resident throughout its extensive range. They are most vocal and active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon. Breeding season varies by region but is generally in spring/early summer.
