The Northern Shrikethrush is a robust songbird with a beautiful and melodious voice, found across northern Australia and New Guinea. It is well-camouflaged in its woodland and forest habitats.
Where to spot
Inhabits a wide range of wooded habitats, including open forests, woodlands, and monsoon forests, across northern Australia and parts of New Guinea.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, rich, and varied whistling song, which is often the first indication of its presence. Look for its greyish-brown plumage, paler underparts, and a relatively long bill as it forages in trees or on the ground.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season, typically in the wet season, when its rich calls are frequently heard.

While often heard, the Northern Shrikethrush can be surprisingly difficult to spot due to its cryptic plumage and habit of moving quietly through dense foliage.
