Przewalski's Nuthatch is a distinctive and rare species, characterized by a unique combination of rufous underparts, a dark cap, and bluish-grey upperparts. It is a highly specialized nuthatch, adapted to high-altitude conifer forests. This species is endemic to central China.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted range in central China, primarily in Qinghai and Gansu provinces. It inhabits high-altitude coniferous forests, particularly old-growth spruce and fir, often near the treeline.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks and large branches. Listen for its distinctive calls, which may be different from other nuthatches. Its unique rufous underparts and dark cap 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 visible foraging on tree trunks. Observing requires expeditions to remote, high-altitude areas.
