How to spot
Look for its small size and general brown-grey plumage. Listen for its characteristic high-pitched, tinkling calls, which often betray its presence. Often seen gleaning insects from foliage.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during daylight hours, especially when part of a foraging flock.
