Spotted
The Russet Sparrow is a widespread and attractive sparrow found across much of Asia, easily recognized by the male's vibrant russet plumage. It often inhabits agricultural lands and human settlements.
Where to spot
Widespread across Asia, from the Himalayas east to China and Japan, and south to parts of Southeast Asia. Found in cultivated areas, villages, open woodlands, and often near human habitation.
How to spot
Look for its striking russet coloration, especially on the male. Often seen foraging on the ground, on farm fields, or perching on buildings and wires. Its chirping calls are typical of sparrows.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, but particularly vocal during the breeding season in spring and summer.
Males display bright russet plumage especially during the breeding season, which can fade slightly outside of it, a common trait in some sparrow species.
