Spotted
This small, secretive bunting is named for its prominent yellow supercilium (eyebrow), which contrasts strikingly with its dark crown and ear coverts. It is often found hidden in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Breeds in the taiga forests of Siberia and Northeast Asia. Winters in East and Southeast Asia, including parts of China and Southeast Asian countries.
How to spot
Patience is key as it often stays low in bushes and scrub, foraging among fallen leaves. Look for its bright yellow eyebrow contrasting with dark plumage, and listen for its short, high-pitched song or sharp call notes.
When to spot
Primarily observed during migration (spring: April-May, autumn: September-October) or in its wintering grounds. Breeding areas are remote.

The Yellow-browed Bunting is known for its extremely skulking behavior, preferring to stay low and hidden in dense vegetation, which makes it a challenging bird for even experienced birdwatchers to observe clearly.
