Spotted
The Short-toed Rock Thrush is a relatively small and elusive species, found in arid, rocky landscapes. Males have a grey head, brown back, and orange underparts, while females are duller brown.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of Southern Africa, including Namibia, South Africa, and Angola, inhabiting rocky outcrops, inselbergs, and dry riverbeds.
How to spot
Search rocky slopes and stony ground, looking for movement. It often perches briefly on prominent rocks before darting down to forage. Its somewhat shy nature requires patience.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its range. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon.

This species is remarkably well-camouflaged against the rocky, arid terrain it inhabits, making it challenging to spot despite its occasional conspicuous perching.
