Bhutan is a paradise for bird lovers and ornithologists.
Over 670 species of birds have been recorded and many more are yet to be
discovered. Around 50 species of the known birds are winter migrants. These
include ducks, waders, birds of prey, thrushes, finches and buntings. The
partial migrants to Bhutan include cuckoos, swifts, bee-eaters, warblers and
flycatchers. The country harbors more than 16 species of vulnerable birds. They
are the Pallas’s Fish Eagle, White bellied Heron, Satyr Tragopan, Gray-bellied
Tragopan, Ward’s Trogon, Blyth’s King Fisher, Yellow-rumped Honey Guide,
Rufous Throated Wren Babbler, Chestnut-breasted Partridge,
Blyth’s Trogon, Wood Snipe, Dark-rumped Swift, Rufous-necked Hornbill,
Gray-crowned Prinia and the Beautiful Nuthatch all of which breed in Bhutan.
