Found across the Himalayas and mountains of China, inhabiting alpine scrub, rocky slopes, and high-altitude grasslands, typically above the tree line.
How to spot
Search rocky, open, and sparsely vegetated areas in high mountains. Look for it perching on prominent rocks, constantly flicking its tail. Its clear, whistling song can often reveal its presence before a visual sighting.
