The São Tomé Thrush (*Turdus olivaceofuscus*) is an endemic species found only on the island of São Tomé, off the coast of West Africa. This medium-sized thrush is characterized by its dull olive-brown plumage and paler underparts, adapted to its island forest habitat.
Where to spot
Found across various forest types on São Tomé, from primary rainforest to secondary growth and even shaded plantations. It prefers areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Search for this thrush foraging on the forest floor, often flicking leaf litter to uncover insects. Its relatively uniform plumage can make it blend in, so listening for its varied vocalizations is helpful.
When to spot
Active year-round, with peak breeding activity occurring during the wet season. Observation is best during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon.

Due to its restricted range on a single island, the São Tomé Thrush is considered a vulnerable species, facing threats from habitat loss and degradation.
