Spotted
The Noisy Pitta is an iconic and highly vocal bird, recognizable by its brilliant green, blue, and black plumage with a rufous crown and a distinctive 'walk-to-work' call. It is a resident of eastern Australia.
Where to spot
Subtropical and tropical rainforests, wet sclerophyll forests, and sometimes dense gardens, along the eastern coast of Australia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, loud call, which can often lead you to its general location. Scan the forest floor and leaf litter patiently. A quiet approach and good camouflage are beneficial for a clear sighting.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its range, though some southern populations may move north in winter. Most vocal during the breeding season (September-January). Best observed at dawn and dusk.

True to its name, the Noisy Pitta has a very loud and far-carrying call, often described as 'walk-to-work,' which is a key way to locate this otherwise shy forest dweller.
