The Spotted Ground Thrush is a rare and highly localized thrush found in parts of Africa, known for its intricately spotted plumage. It is a secretive bird of dense, moist forests.
Where to spot
Fragmented populations in moist evergreen forests of South Africa, East Africa (e.g., Kenya, Tanzania), and isolated pockets elsewhere.
How to spot
Requires great patience and luck due to its rarity and shy nature. Focus on dense undergrowth in moist forests, often near streams. Listen for its soft calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during early morning and late afternoon. More vocal during the breeding season.
