PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 367 (Observe the Bird and recognize)..FIRETHROAT...[From a Photograph of ABHISHEK DAS] ....WATERCOLOUR...A4...2014... The Firethroat (Luscinia pectardens) also known as David's Rubythroat or Pere David's Orangethroat is a species of bird in the Muscicapidae family, found in the northern parts of China, primarily the Sichuan. It breeds in Sichuan, China, and winters primarily in the Indian Subcontinent. Its wintering range spans across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Tibet and Myanmar. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. This species is very poorly known with no recent records from the wintering grounds, and the only recent breeding records all originating from just one site. It has probably declined within its range and is suspected to have a moderately small population. Therefore, it is currently considered Near Threatened.
