The Negros Thrush (*Turdus nigrorum*) is an endemic form of Island Thrush found on Negros Island in the Philippines. It is a medium-sized, dark thrush with a robust build and a yellow bill, adapted to montane habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of Negros Island in the Philippines, typically found at higher elevations. It prefers dense, humid forest with plenty of undergrowth.
How to spot
Search for its dark, somewhat glossy plumage and yellow bill. It tends to forage on the forest floor, so looking for subtle movements among leaf litter is effective. Listen for its distinctive thrush calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. As with many forest thrushes, it is most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Breeding activity typically occurs during the local wet season.
