The White-winged Snowfinch is a hardy high-altitude specialist found in the mountainous regions of Eurasia. It is known for its striking white wing patches, especially visible in flight.
Where to spot
High-altitude mountain ranges across Eurasia, from the Pyrenees and Alps through Central Asia to the Himalayas and China. Found on rocky slopes, alpine meadows, and near glaciers.
How to spot
Look for it on rocky ground or snow patches. Its bold white wing patches are a key identification feature, especially when it takes flight. Often seen in small flocks. Listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident at high altitudes, though it may descend slightly to mountain passes or sheltered valleys during severe winter weather.
