Spotted
The Siberian Stonechat is a close relative of the European Stonechat, this migratory bird is characterized by its similar but often paler appearance, particularly in females. It also has the distinctive 'stone-tapping' call.
Where to spot
Breeds across temperate Asia from Siberia to Central Asia. Winters in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of East Africa. Can be found in open grasslands, scrubland, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for it perched on prominent low vegetation. Identification can be tricky from European Stonechat; look for more extensive white on the rump and less contrast in plumage for males, and paler overall appearance in females.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season from May to July. Extensive sightings also occur during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-November) migration periods.
