Spotted
The Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush is a beautiful ground-dwelling bird native to the arid interior of Australia. Males feature a striking black face mask and a rich chestnut breast, making them quite distinctive.
Where to spot
Primarily found in arid and semi-arid regions of central and eastern Australia, favoring mulga, acacia, and mallee scrublands with sparse ground cover.
How to spot
Approach cautiously and quietly, as they are very wary. Listen for their clear, whistling calls. Scan the ground and base of shrubs, as they are well-camouflaged.
When to spot
Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. They are resident birds, present in their range throughout the year.

Like other quail-thrushes, it is known for its habit of freezing motionless or running quickly when startled, rather than flying, to avoid detection.
