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.

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??

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Gets me outdoors more
I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

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.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
