The Short-billed Minivet is a widespread migratory bird found across East Asia. Males have black and red plumage, while females are yellow and grey, typically with a shorter bill than related species.
Where to spot
Breeds in temperate forests of East Asia (e.g., Korea, Japan, China) and migrates south to Southeast Asia and parts of India for the non-breeding season. Found in woodlands and forests.
How to spot
Look for them in mixed and deciduous forests. Listen for their soft, whistling calls. Pay attention to the bill shape and subtle plumage differences from similar minivets.
When to spot
Best observed during spring and autumn migration periods in transitional zones, and during summer in breeding grounds or winter in non-breeding grounds. Active during daylight.
