The Sultan Tit is a spectacular and large tit species found in Southeast Asia, instantly recognizable by its vibrant yellow body and prominent crest, and glossy black upperparts. It is a true forest gem.
Where to spot
Widespread across Southeast Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, inhabiting evergreen and moist deciduous forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and canopy of dense forests. Its large size, bright yellow, and prominent crest make it relatively easy to spot once located. Listen for its loud, clear whistling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly in the mornings, when its striking colors are best observed.
