Spotted
The Trumpeter Finch is a pale, sandy-colored finch of arid regions, notable for its short, conical bill and, in males, a rosy flush during the breeding season. Its most distinctive feature is its unique buzzing, trumpet-like call.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. Favors deserts, rocky slopes, wadis, and stony plains, often near sparse vegetation.
How to spot
Look for its pale, sandy plumage, stout bill, and sometimes a rosy blush (males). The most reliable way to identify them is by their distinctive, trumpet-like 'bzzzz' or 'chrrring' call, often given in flight or from a prominent perch.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Breeding activity is most prominent in spring and early summer, when males are more vocal. Best seen in the cooler parts of the day or early morning.

The Trumpeter Finch gets its name from its very unusual and distinctive call, which is a buzzing, horn-like sound, quite unlike the typical chirps or trills of most other finch species.
