Spotted
The Naga Nuthatch is a medium-sized species with a distinctive appearance, featuring bluish-grey upperparts, a prominent white throat, and a bold black eye-stripe that extends onto the flanks. It is a skilled tree-climber, native to specialized montane habitats in Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found in northeastern India (Naga Hills), western Myanmar, and parts of southwestern China. It inhabits montane evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, particularly mature oak and rhododendron woodlands, at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing movements on tree trunks and branches. Listen for its distinctive, often loud calls. The prominent black eye-stripe, extending onto the flanks, and white throat are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its native habitat. Best observed during the non-breeding season when it is often more active and conspicuous, foraging openly on tree trunks.
