Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, inhabiting open woodlands, agricultural areas, and urban environments.
How to spot
Listen for its harsh, chattering 'chirurr-chirurr-chirurr' call. Look for it perched openly on buildings, utility poles, or in tree cavities, often in pairs.
When to spot
Primarily crepuscular (dawn/dusk) and nocturnal, but often active and visible during the day, especially on overcast days.
