The grey-sided thrush (Turdus feae) is a species of bird in the thrush family, Turdidae. The grey-sided thrush is a medium-sized, warm-brown thrush with a white supercilium and crescent below the eye. The male has rufescent-olive upperparts, including the crown and ear-coverts, and grey underparts becoming paler on the belly and vent. The female has a white throat and whiter centre to the breast and belly, some dark spots or streaks on the sides of the throat and upper breast and warm brownish fringes to the breast feathers.
The species is migratory, breeding in the mountains of north-east China and migrating to subtropical or tropical moist montane forest in India, and Indochina. Lately it has also been found in parts of Daman, Makwanpur; Nepal and as a vagrant in north-eastern Bangladesh.
The grey-sided thrush forages for insects and berries on the ground or less commonly in the trees, often in the company of the eyebrowed thrush (Turdus obscurus). It is also thought to feed on nectar from the flowers of the shingle tree (Acrocarpus fraxinifolius). It is threatened by habitat loss and habitat fragmentation... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-sided Thrush sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 638 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 64th most-seen of the 367 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-sided Thrush in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–December, the lowest months. Those are among Doi Inthanon National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 340 mm in August.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-sided Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Doi Inthanon National Park, in our data
Doi Inthanon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Grey-sided Thrush sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-sided Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (638 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
