The Grand Comoro Thrush (*Turdus xanthorhynchus*), often considered a subspecies of the Olive Thrush, is a shy and elusive bird endemic to the forests of Grande Comore island. It blends well into its arboreal habitat with its generally olive-brown plumage.
Where to spot
This bird is exclusively found in the humid montane forests of Grande Comore island, part of the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean. Look for it in the undergrowth or mid-story of dense woodland.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic thrush-like song or calls emanating from dense vegetation. Patience is key, as they are often furtive. Look for movement in leaf litter as they forage for invertebrates.
When to spot
It can be observed year-round in its native habitat. Early mornings and late afternoons are typically the best times when birds are most active in foraging.
