The Streaked Barwing is a distinctive babbler found in the high-altitude forests of the eastern Himalayas and China. It is characterized by its heavily streaked plumage on the head and breast, along with barred wings and tail.
Where to spot
Ranges from the eastern Himalayas (northeastern India, Bhutan) through parts of northern Myanmar and southern China. Inhabits dense montane evergreen forests, particularly rhododendron and bamboo thickets, at high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its quiet, often melodious, whistling calls. Look for subtle movements in very dense foliage. The prominent streaking on its head and breast, combined with the barred wings, are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Due to its secretive nature, patience is required for observation.
