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).
