Where to spot
Found in mountainous regions of East and Southeast Asia, including Taiwan, China, Myanmar, and parts of the Himalayas. It prefers dense broadleaf montane forests.
How to spot
Locate males by their intense blue color. They often perch on open branches in the understory. Listen for its short, sweet, often repeated song or calls to find this visually stunning bird.
When to spot
A resident species, though some populations may undertake altitudinal migrations in winter. Observable year-round, most active at dawn and dusk.
This species is notable for the intensity of the male's blue coloration, which is particularly striking when seen in sunlight. It is a popular subject for bird photographers due to its beauty.
