Spotted Ground Thrush
The Spotted Ground-thrush spends much of its time in leaf-litter on the forest floor where it flicks through the leaves in search of small invertebrates, and despite its distinctive colouration, it is often difficult to see. In KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the birds have distinctive winter and summer ranges. In winter these birds spend their time in remnant coastal forests, and in summer they move to forests further inland. The birds lay bluish coloured eggs in a cup-shaped nest. This species is listed as Endangered.
