Where to spot
Breeds across northern Asia, particularly Siberia and Mongolia, wintering south to parts of China and Korea. It prefers larch and other conifer forests, often near taiga edges and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for them in coniferous forests or open woodlands. In winter, they may be found in more open habitats and cultivated fields. Listen for their soft, whistling calls.
When to spot
Best observed during its breeding season in spring and summer in the northern parts of its range. In winter, they are found further south and can be seen in larger flocks.
