Mo Chu River, Punakha, Bhutan
March 2008
The Rusty-fronted Barwing is distributed from Nepal, Bhutan and north-east India into Myanmar and south China. It is found in broadleaf, evergreen forest and is often associated with bamboo. It forages for insects, berries and seeds in the undergrowth and mid-storey of the forest and forest edges. It is usually at between 600 and 2,400 metres altitude.
It moves around in small bands often with laughingthrushes and we found that Greater Rufous-headed Parrotbills Paradoxornis ruficeps were most easily seen when foraging with Rusty-fronted Barwings.
