Spotted
The Streaked Laughingthrush is a medium-sized babbler with a distinctive heavily streaked plumage on its crown, back, and underparts. It is a vocal and often conspicuous species found in the Himalayan foothills.
Where to spot
Found in the western and central Himalayas, including parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Inhabits dense undergrowth of montane evergreen forests, particularly rhododendron and bamboo thickets, often near streams.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, chattering calls, often delivered in a duet. Look for it moving actively on the forest floor or in low shrubs. The prominent dark streaking on a lighter background is its key identification mark.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/early summer). Active throughout the day, often foraging in small groups.

This species often forages on the ground, kicking aside leaf litter with its feet to uncover insects, a behavior typical of many ground-dwelling babblers.
