Spotted
The Grey-sided Thrush (*Turdus rubrocanus*) is a beautiful thrush species of the Himalayas and East Asia. Males have a distinctive grey head and upperparts, with rufous underparts and prominent grey flanks. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Breeds in montane broadleaf and mixed forests across the Himalayas and parts of China. It winters at lower elevations in Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Myanmar, and Thailand.
How to spot
Look for the male's distinctive grey head and rufous-grey flanks. They forage both on the ground and in trees, feeding on fruits and invertebrates. Listen for their loud and melodious song.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range, or during migration (spring/autumn) and winter (late autumn to early spring) in its southern range.
