The Black-throated Thrush is a medium-sized thrush distinguished by the striking black throat and upper breast of the male during breeding season. This migratory species is known for its wide-ranging movements between coniferous forests and more open habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds across coniferous and mixed forests of Siberia and Central Asia. Winters widely across southern Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, often in cultivated areas, parks, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its upright posture and the male's distinct black throat patch. Listen for its simple, fluty song or a harsh 'chak' call. Often seen foraging on the ground or in low bushes, sometimes perching prominently.
When to spot
Best observed during spring and autumn migration periods as they pass through various regions. They are present in their breeding grounds during summer and in their wintering grounds throughout the colder months.

Unlike many thrushes that primarily forage on the ground, the Black-throated Thrush is adept at catching insects in mid-air and gleaning them from foliage, showcasing its versatile hunting skills.
