Spotted
The Spotted Laughingthrush is a large, strikingly patterned species, characterized by bold black spots or scales on its back and breast. This highly vocal and social bird is typically found in noisy groups foraging on the forest floor or in dense undergrowth. It is native to the Himalayas.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayas, including northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and southeastern Tibet. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and rhododendron forests in montane broadleaf and coniferous forests at high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for their loud, distinctive calls, which can be somewhat harsh or cackling. Look for groups foraging on the forest floor or in low vegetation. The prominent black spots against a pale background are unmistakable identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and observable year-round. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to observe them as they forage actively. They are particularly vocal during the breeding season.
