Every winter, as the vast landscapes of Siberia and temperate Asia surrender to ice and snow, a remarkable natural phenomenon unfolds: a mass migration of millions of birds seeking survival in warmer climes. Among the most resilient of these avian voyagers is the Siberian Stonechat (Saxicola maurus), a tiny bird that flies thousands of kilometers to the Indian subcontinent. In Telangana, this little flycatcher becomes a familiar, welcome sight during the cooler months, transforming open scrublands and wetland margins into temporary winter homes.

The Siberian Stonechat is a chunky little bird of open landscapes; often seen on exposed perches. The breeding male has a black head, broad white half-collar, and rusty-red chest while the non-breeding male is patchier, with a paler head and chest.

The Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) is a small, migratory wader known for its constant head-and-tail bobbing motion. It breeds across Europe and Asia, wintering in warmer climes like Mokila, Telangana, and Sungei Buloh, Singapore.

Adaptable to both freshwater and coastal habitats, it forages for insects and invertebrates in shallow water and mud. A largely solitary bird during migration, the Common Sandpiper is a widespread species whose conservation depends on preserving the global network of wetlands it utilizes during its remarkable annual journey.

The White-tailed Robin (Myiomela leucura) is a stately ground-dwelling Old World flycatcher of dense mid- to upper-elevation broadleaf and mixed forests, particularly in areas with bamboo. The male is a striking rich blue with brighter patches on crown and wings, while the female is brown overall with white throat and belly. Both sexes have large white patches on sides of tail that flash brightly in the gloom of the forest when fanned. When the white tail patch is not visible, ground-dwelling habits and horizontal posture distinguish male from the similar Large Niltava. Their song is beautiful, a short series of ringing silvery whistles, usually rising. Most common call is a high thin “tzin.”

The Blyth’s Leaf Warbler is a fairly bright mid-sized leaf-warbler, yellowish-green above and white below with two wingbars, a broad yellow-suffused eyebrow, and a pale stripe across a gray crown. It breeds in broadleaf (often oak), coniferous, or mixed forests at middle to high elevations, and descends into lower foothill regions in the winter.

The Near Threatened Malayan Swamp Babbler (Pellorneum rostratum), previously named the White-chested Babbler, is a species of bird in the ground babbler family, Pellorneidae, that is found in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, the Riau Islands, the Lingga Islands and the island of Belitung. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Bornean swamp babbler (Pellorneum macropterum). Quite nondescript, these typically move in pairs. Similar in appearance to Ferruginous Babbler but is duller, grayer, and more specialized in its habitat preferences.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

A distinctive, small and winter migrant flycatcher where the males have a rusty-orange throat that continues onto the breast. All plumages have a distinctive tail pattern with black terminal bar and white sides. The wings relatively plain & a white eyering is noticeable. When perched, the tail is often held cocked with the wingtips drooping. It breeds in mature deciduous mixed forest, wintering in forests, woodlands and parks.

The Old World Babblers are a family of passerine birds diverse in size and coloration, characterised by soft fluffy plumage. These are birds of tropical areas, with the greatest variety in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. This group is among those Old World bird families with the highest number of species still being discovered. Featured here is the White-browed Scimitar Babbler from Doi Luang in Chiang Mai.

It is a medium-sized babbler with a slightly decurved yellow bill. It usually forages low in the undergrowth, at middle levels, or on the ground, often in mixed flocks with other babblers and laughingthrushes. Found from the upper lowlands up into mountainous regions, where it inhabits forests with dense undergrowth, as well as shrubby edges and grassy areas. Repertoire is vast and includes whoops, rattles, and hooting. As with other scimitar-babblers, pairs duet with one another.
