Spotted
The Small Minivet is a widespread and common bird across South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the smaller minivet species, with males showing a grey back and orange-red underparts, and females being yellowish.
Where to spot
Found in open woodlands, scrub, gardens, and cultivation across a broad range from India to Southeast Asia, favoring areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for them in the mid-canopy or on outer branches of trees. They often make soft 'swee-swee' calls. Observe their agile movements as they catch insects.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often observed singly, in pairs, or small groups. They are resident in most of their range, present year-round.

Despite their small size, Small Minivets are highly visible due to their habit of actively foraging in trees and their often bright plumage, especially the males.
