The Long-billed Thrush is a distinctive thrush characterized by its unusually long, slender bill, adapted for probing deep into soil and moss. Its plumage is generally dark brown with lighter scaling on the underparts.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, particularly mossy and bamboo forests, across the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Search moist forest floors, especially areas with thick moss or rich leaf litter. Look for its distinctive probing behavior with its long bill. It can be quite shy.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but often found at higher elevations. Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) when more vocal.

Its exceptionally long bill is a specialization for feeding on earthworms and other invertebrates buried deep in the forest floor or moss.
