The Nilgiri Blue Robin is a small, secretive bird endemic to the high-altitude forests of the Western Ghats in India. Males are largely blue with a white belly, while females are browner.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high-altitude shola forests and montane grasslands of the Nilgiri Hills and surrounding ranges in Southern India.
How to spot
Highly elusive. Scan dense undergrowth and listen for its soft, clear calls. It often forages on the forest floor, making it difficult to spot. Patience and a keen ear are essential.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active in the low light of dawn and dusk. Breeding activity generally occurs in the spring months.
