The Western Quail-thrush is an elusive, ground-dwelling bird found in the southwestern parts of Australia. Its cryptic plumage helps it blend seamlessly into the dry, shrubby environments it inhabits.
Where to spot
Restricted to the mallee and acacia shrublands, and dry eucalypt woodlands of southwestern Western Australia, preferring areas with dense leaf litter.
How to spot
Walk slowly and scan the ground intently. Listening for their quiet calls can help locate them. Patience is crucial, as they are very good at remaining hidden.
When to spot
Generally active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly dawn and dusk. They are non-migratory and can be sought year-round.
This species can be quite challenging to observe due to its shy nature and tendency to run or hide rather than fly when approached, making it a prized sighting for birdwatchers.
