The Ceram Thrush (*Turdus deningeri*) is an endemic form of Island Thrush, specific to the island of Seram (Ceram) in Indonesia. It is a medium-sized, dark thrush with a robust build and a yellow bill, inhabiting montane forests.
Where to spot
Confined to the montane forests of Seram Island in Indonesia, typically at higher elevations. It prefers dense, humid forest and mossy, stunted woodlands.
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.

Its isolation on Seram Island, a geologically complex island, has contributed to its unique genetic lineage within the widespread Island Thrush group.
