Spotted
A small and rather elusive bunting, characterized by its streaked brown plumage and a distinctive reddish-brown facial pattern bordered by a dark line. It breeds in northern forests and undertakes long migrations south for winter.
Where to spot
Breeds in the taiga and boreal forests of northern Eurasia. Winters across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and occasionally appears as a vagrant in Western Europe.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground in dense vegetation, at the edges of woodlands, or near shrubbery. Its small size, streaked appearance, and distinct facial pattern are key identification features, often accompanied by a quiet 'chip' or 'tick' call.
When to spot
Best observed during spring and autumn migration in intermediate areas (e.g., Central Europe), or during winter in its southern range (October-March). Breeding grounds are remote.

Despite its small size and often skulking nature, the Little Bunting undertakes impressive migratory journeys, traveling from its northern boreal breeding grounds in Eurasia to wintering areas as far south as Southeast Asia.
