Spotted
The Sillem's Rosefinch is an extremely rare and enigmatic species, known from only a handful of sightings. Males are likely rosy-hued, similar to other rosefinches, but details are scarce.
Where to spot
Known only from a very remote and high-altitude region of Tibet in China. Its precise habitat requirements are not well understood but likely involve rocky alpine scrub.
How to spot
Observation is extremely challenging due to its rarity and remote habitat. It would require dedicated expeditions to its very limited known range, focusing on high-altitude rocky terrain.
When to spot
Sightings are so rare that specific observation times are not well established. Any observation is significant and opportunistic.
This is one of the least-known bird species globally, with its rediscovery in recent decades being a significant event for ornithologists.
