Not yet spotted on Fladder

The White-browed Nuthatch is a small, distinctive species endemic to Myanmar, characterized by a prominent white supercilium (eyebrow) above a black eye-stripe. Its upperparts are bluish-grey and underparts are paler. This nuthatch is a specialist of high-altitude pine forests.

Where to spot

Endemic to a very restricted range in western Myanmar (Chin State). It exclusively inhabits mature pine forests, particularly *Pinus kesiya* woodlands, at high elevations.

How to spot

Requires dedicated birding in specific montane forests of Myanmar. Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on pine trunks and branches. The prominent white supercilium and black eye-stripe are key identification features.

When to spot

Resident year-round in its native habitat. Best observed during the non-breeding season when it is often more visible foraging on tree trunks. Early morning is often the most active time.
