The Spectacled Barwing is a small, attractive songbird characterized by its distinctive 'spectacled' eye-ring and often prominent wing bars. It is an active, gregarious bird, typically found in montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the Himalayas and mountains of Southeast Asia, including parts of India, China, Myanmar, and Vietnam. It inhabits montane broadleaf and evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive eye-ring and wing bars. Listen for its varied, often chirping or churring calls. Scan the mid-story and undergrowth, as it often forages in tangled vegetation, sometimes joining mixed flocks.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident montane habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early mornings.
