Spotted
The White-crowned Forktail is a striking and elegant bird, easily recognized by its glossy black and white plumage and deeply forked tail. It is a true specialist of clear mountain streams.
Where to spot
Found across South and Southeast Asia, from the Himalayas east to China and south through Indochina and the Malay Peninsula. It strictly inhabits clear, fast-flowing mountain rivers and streams.
How to spot
Look for it perched on rocks in or alongside streams, often flicking its tail. Its contrasting black and white plumage makes it conspicuous against the grey rocks and rushing water. Listen for its sharp calls.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round in its habitat. It is most active during the day, particularly in the morning, as it forages along the water's edge.

This species builds its nest in crevices or among rocks near fast-flowing water, often incorporating moss and plant fibers to camouflage it against the natural environment of its stream habitat.
