Blue-fronted Robin

Cinclidium frontale

The Blue-fronted Robin, Cinclidium frontale, is a charming avian species belonging to the Muscicapidae family. It stands alone in its monotypic genus, Cinclidium, a unique lineage of the Old World flycatchers.

Identification Tips

This bird can be identified by its distinctive blue frontal plumage, which contrasts with its otherwise muted tones. Observers should note its size and coloration for proper identification.

Habitat

The Blue-fronted Robin is a denizen of temperate forests, where it flits among the foliage, ever in search of sustenance.

Distribution

This species graces the landscapes of several Asian countries, including Bhutan, China, Northeast India, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. There have also been possible sightings in Nepal, hinting at a wider range than currently confirmed.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Blue-fronted Robin as Least Concern, indicating a stable population without immediate threats to its survival.

The Blue-fronted Robin remains a somewhat enigmatic figure in the avian world, with much left to learn about its behavior, song, breeding habits, diet, and any similar species it may have. As such, these sections remain to be filled with future observations and studies by intrepid ornithologists.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Loving it
I really enjoy being able to interact with other birders on this platform! This seems like a great way to meet other birders and find some new spots.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether
