The Red-billed Chough is a striking and agile member of the crow family, known for its glossy black plumage, bright red bill, and red legs. It is typically found in mountainous regions and coastal cliffs, often performing acrobatic flights.
Where to spot
Found in mountainous areas, rocky coasts, and clifflines across parts of Europe, North Africa, Central Asia, and the Himalayas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive red bill and legs contrasting with its black body. Watch for its graceful, aerial displays near cliffs or listen for its characteristic 'chee-ow' calls. They often forage on short grass.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during daylight hours, often seen foraging in open grasslands or soaring along cliffs.
