		Pied Monarch, Orange-footed Scrubfowl, Brown Cuckoo-Dove and Grey-headed Robin are all relatively common in the grounds of the park.
		In addition, a real highlight was the two Russet-tailed Ground Thrushes that performed admirably by the roadside as we climbed the mountain.
		On Mount Lewis this species occurs at lower elevations than Bassian Ground Thrush and although difficult to distinguish between, Russet-tailed is altogether a more daintier bird with a shorter, more proportioned bill and, most importantly, in flight the basal two thirds of its outer tail feathers are white.

	THRUSH (BIRD) FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Thrushes, family Turdidae, are a group of passerine birds that occur mainly but not exclusively in the Old_World.
		They are plump, soft plumaged, small to medium sized insectivores or sometimes omnivores, often feeding on the ground.
		Traditionally it included the small Old World species, like the Nightingale and European_Robin in the subfamily Saxicolini, but now often either that group or the whole family is now placed in the Old_World_flycatcher family Muscicapidae.

		The young rather closely resemble the female Pied Ground Thrush, but many be distinguished by the characteristic facial pattern of the white and fl, which is similar to that of the adult.
		It is rather shy but also inquisitive; a singing male easily decoyed within sight by whistling an imitation of its song, which is rich, varied and sweet-toned performance, usually uttered from a perch in the lower branches of the tree-canopy.
		This thrush is found throughout the hills, ascending to 7,000 feet; throughout the low-country wet zone; and in scattered localities in the dry zone, but its main habitat seems to lie between the 500 and 5,000 feet contours.

		Tibetan Snowcock, Ibisbill and Pied Thrush can only be found in the Langtang Valley (where Koklass and Cheer Pheasant do not occur) and this meant that we would bird Langtang and Gosainkund rather than Jomsom which has all the pheasants but none of our other key species.
		We had scope views of up to 6 birds on their breeding grounds in the extensive boulder and shingle beds where the Langtang River is at its broadest 30 minutes walk beyond Kyanjin.
		This stunning thrush almost eluded us before we finally obtained great views in the forest beyond Syabru shortly after you cross a bridge over a small river but before the very steep descent to the Langtang Khola.

		This bird, which was all fl and white, turned out to be a varied thrush.

		In comparison, Bassian Ground Thrush appears stockier and shorter-tailed, with its long bill giving it a top heavy appearance - in flight this species only shows pale tips to the tail.
		After flying from Sydney, we were scheduled to spend two nights in Dubai city before returning to London.

		A visit to Sri Lanka is even more welcome during the late autumn or early spring - not just so we can enjoy some unseasonable sunshine and warmth, but because this enchanting tropical isle is also a winter retreat for large numbers of birds from farther north.
		Indian Elephant is likely, and dry country birds include Blue-faced Malkoha, Malabar Pied Hornbill and the superb Indian Robin, while the strange 'moped-engine' sounds coming from the grasslands in fact originate from the pint-sized Barred Buttonquail.
		At nearby Horton Plains, a plateau of moorland grass inhabited by Pied Bushchats and Paddyfield Pipits, we can scan the forest slopes for a patrolling Mountain Hawk-eagle or even a Black Eagle - the latter specialising in snatching Giant Squirrels from the tree canopy.

		We started pre-dawn in eastern Pulaski Co., where we discovered a couple of Eastern Screech-Owls and also had a few thrushes fly over.

		I'm almost certain none of the other Zothera or Turdus thrushes to be seen in Kashmir in any age plumage have a spotted back and wingbars.
		It might be a Pied Thrush, but I still think it looks much more like a Turdus (pictures can lie)
		Its not a Fieldfare, the spotting on the underparts has v-shaped flecks (which is why it reminds me so much of Dusky Thrush).
