The Chestnut-backed Quail-thrush is an Australian native known for its striking chestnut back and secretive habits. It primarily forages on the ground, blending seamlessly with its arid environment.
Where to spot
Inhabits semi-arid and arid woodlands, mallee shrublands, and acacia scrub across inland Australia. They prefer areas with sparse undergrowth and ground cover.
How to spot
Walk slowly and quietly through appropriate habitats. Look for slight movements on the ground, as they often freeze when disturbed. Binoculars are helpful for identifying their markings.
When to spot
Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings and late afternoons. They are resident and can be found throughout the year.
