The Eyebrowed Thrushes (Turdus obscurus) breeds in dense coniferous forest and taiga eastwards from Siberia. This thrush is strongly migratory, wintering south to southeast Asia and Indonesia. It is a rare vagrant to western Europe.
The Eyebrowed Thrushes nests in trees, laying 4-6 eggs in a neat nest. Migrating birds and wintering birds often form small flocks.
It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and berries.
This is an attractive thrush, with a grey back and head, the latter having a black eyeline, bordered white above and below. The breast and flanks are orange, and the belly white. The sexes are fairly similar, but immatures have a browner back.
The male has a simple whistling song, similar to the related Mistle Thrush.
