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.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

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.
