The Sri Lanka Thrush is a rare and localized species endemic to the humid montane forests of Sri Lanka. It exhibits typical scaly thrush patterns, blending well with its forest floor habitat.
Where to spot
Humid montane evergreen forests of the central highlands of Sri Lanka, particularly in areas like Horton Plains National Park.
How to spot
Requires significant patience due to its shyness and dense habitat. Focus on undisturbed forest floors, especially near streams or damp areas. Listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to spot it foraging.
