The Littoral Rock Thrush is a species endemic to Madagascar, characterized by the male's blue-grey head and upperparts, contrasting with a warm rufous belly. Females are browner.
Where to spot
Endemic to Madagascar, found in the dry thorny scrub and forests of the southwest, often near coastal areas, but also extending inland.
How to spot
Search in the dry spiny forests and scrubland, looking for it perching on branches or foraging on the ground. Its distinct blue and rufous pattern is helpful for identification.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the dry season (roughly April-November) when foraging conditions may be more favorable.
