The Austral Thrush (*Turdus falcklandii*) is a common and widespread thrush found in southern South America, including the Falkland Islands. It is characterized by its dull brown plumage, yellow bill, and pale belly.
Where to spot
Inhabits a wide variety of open and semi-open habitats, including woodlands, scrublands, grasslands, agricultural areas, parks, and gardens across Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and the Falkland Islands.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground in open areas, running and stopping to probe the soil. Its yellow bill and relatively plain brown plumage are key identifiers. Listen for its varied, somewhat squeaky song.
When to spot
Present year-round as a resident species throughout its range. It is often seen foraging during daylight hours, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.
