Spotted
The Rufous Treepie is a widespread and common member of the crow family, known for its distinctive long tail and pleasant, varied calls. It is easily recognized by its rufous-brown body and grey head.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, found in open woodlands, scrub, agricultural areas, and even urban gardens.
How to spot
Look for them perched on prominent branches or foraging on the ground. Their long tail and distinctive 'kokila' calls are good identification cues. They are often less shy than other corvids.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the year. They are most active during the cooler parts of the day, early morning and late afternoon.
