Spotted
The Silver Oriole is a distinctive and rare species, known for its unique silvery-grey and black plumage, contrasting sharply with the typical yellow or maroon of other orioles. Males are particularly striking.
Where to spot
Breeds in dense forests of southern China (e.g., Guangdong and Guangxi) and winters in the lowlands of Southeast Asia, including parts of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
How to spot
Patience is key for this elusive bird. Look in tall, mature evergreen forests, especially near fruit-bearing trees. Listen for its distinctive calls, which can help pinpoint its location in the canopy.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season in southern China (spring/summer) or during migration and wintering periods in Southeast Asia (autumn/winter).
