White-backed Thrush

Turdus kessleri

The White-backed Thrush, also known as Kessler's Thrush (Turdus kessleri), is a member of the Turdidae family, a group renowned for their melodious songbirds. This species exhibits the characteristic thrush shape and is distinguished by its notable white back.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the White-backed Thrush, look for its defining white back which contrasts with the rest of its plumage. As with many thrushes, it may be necessary to observe patiently, as their demeanor can be quite reserved.

Habitat

The White-backed Thrush is a denizen of temperate forests and temperate shrubland. These environments provide the cover and resources that this species requires for foraging and nesting.

Distribution

This thrush is endemic to central China, where it can be found in suitable habitats across the region.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the White-backed Thrush as Least Concern. This suggests that, currently, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a more urgent conservation status.

Work together with community
Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

Fantastic App
This is a really lovely app, for everyone interested in birds - from newbies to old hands. There is a very friendly feel to the community and you will genuinely learn a lot as you record your sightings and photos. There are lots of badges and competitions to keep you engaged, and a host of really useful features.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether

Fantastic app - Love it!
Love this app and have used it almost daily. Lots of species information and easy to use. Love seeing birds spotted by other users in the UK and worldwide.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??
