The Reunion Stonechat is a distinctive and rare species, endemic to Reunion Island. Males have a black head, white collar, and rich reddish-brown underparts, similar to some Common Stonechat subspecies.
Where to spot
Endemic to Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, found in open montane grasslands, heath, and scrubland, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for it perching on tall grasses, shrubs, or rocks in open, grassy areas of the island's interior. Its 'tsak-chak' call is similar to other stonechats. Observation requires visiting its specific island habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which often coincides with the local spring/summer.
