The Whiskered Yuhina is a charming and widespread species found across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its prominent whisker marks.
Where to spot
Ranges from the Himalayas (Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan) through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Inhabits various forest types, bamboo thickets, and dense scrub, primarily montane.
How to spot
Look for the distinct black 'whisker' stripes extending back from the base of the bill. It has a slight crest and generally brown plumage. Often seen in active flocks, foraging in the mid-canopy. Listen for their distinctive, often chirping and whistling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Active during the day. Often observed in spring and summer during the breeding season when vocalizations are more frequent.

The 'whiskers' are actually short, stiff feathers that resemble bristles, giving the bird a distinctive facial pattern.
