Spotted
The Spotted Quail-thrush is a secretive, ground-dwelling bird native to southeastern Australia. Its distinctive spotted plumage provides excellent camouflage amidst the leaf litter of its forest habitats.
Where to spot
Found in temperate eucalypt forests, woodlands, and dense shrubland in southeastern Australia. Look for them in areas with plenty of leaf litter and fallen logs.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive, often loud, whistling calls. Remain still and scan the forest floor, as they are shy and blend in well. Patience is key to spotting these elusive birds.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when they forage for insects and seeds. They can be observed year-round in their resident territories.

Despite its name, the Spotted Quail-thrush is not closely related to true quails; its name refers to its preference for foraging on the ground with a quail-like gait.
