Roborovski's Rosefinch is a high-altitude specialist, a small and hardy finch with a delicate appearance. Males are rosy-pink with a brownish head, while females are buffy brown.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high-altitude plateaus of western China, particularly Qinghai and Tibet. It thrives in alpine meadows, rocky scree, and sparse vegetation above the tree line.
How to spot
Scan open, rocky alpine landscapes. Their small size and ground-dwelling habits can make them challenging to spot. Listen for their faint, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Most easily observed during the summer breeding season when they are active on the open alpine tundra. They remain at high altitudes year-round, braving extreme cold.
