The Nullarbor Quail-thrush is a species endemic to the Nullarbor Plain of southern Australia. It is characterized by its duller plumage compared to other quail-thrushes, adapting to its unique, dry environment.
Where to spot
Strictly limited to the treeless, arid and semi-arid shrublands and open woodlands of the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia and South Australia.
How to spot
Focus on areas with low, dense scrub or saltbush. They are often detected by their distinctive calls before being seen. Look for them foraging cautiously on the ground.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, particularly in the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon. They are resident birds and observable year-round.

Its specific scientific name 'clarum' means 'clear' or 'bright', which is somewhat ironic given its relatively subdued plumage compared to its close relatives.
