Swinhoe's Thrush

Zoothera terrestris

Swinhoe's Thrush (Zoothera terrestris) is a medium-sized thrush found in East Asia. It has a distinctive appearance with a mottled brown back, creamy underparts, and a prominent eye ring. This species is known for its melodious and flute-like song, often heard in its forested habitats. Swinhoe's Thrush is primarily insectivorous, foraging on the forest floor for insects, worms, and berries. It prefers dense undergrowth and is often found in moist, shady areas such as broadleaf forests and montane woodlands. Although not globally threatened, habitat loss and degradation are potential threats to this species.

Habitat: Broadleaf forests and montane woodlands
