The Little Shrikethrush is a small, plain-looking but vocally impressive songbird found across a wide range of habitats in northern Australia and New Guinea. It is known for its beautiful, flute-like calls.
Where to spot
Widespread across northern Australia, New Guinea, and surrounding islands. Inhabits various forested and wooded habitats, including rainforest edges, mangroves, and paperbark woodlands.
How to spot
Look for its unassuming brown-grey plumage with a paler belly and a relatively short tail. The best way to identify it is by its clear, ascending, and often repeated whistling song, which is a characteristic sound of its habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the breeding season, typically the wet season in tropical Australia and New Guinea, but can be heard throughout the year.

Despite its 'little' name, its vocalizations are surprisingly loud and varied, often carrying long distances through the forest canopy.
