The Vanikoro Thrush (*Turdus vanikorensis*) is an endemic form of Island Thrush restricted to the island of Vanikoro in the Solomon Islands. It is a medium-sized, dark thrush well-adapted to its island forest habitat.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for its dark, uniform plumage. It tends to be shy, foraging in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor. Listening for its thrush-like calls or simple song is often the most effective observation method.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day or during the breeding season when birds are more vocal and active.
