Thrushes are medium-sized birds and live in wood areas and often feed on the ground. They are mainly migratory birds and have over 300 species. The thrush family is very large and they are split into two groups. First group includes the true thrushes and in second group little smaller chats and flycatchers are included. Thrushes are very beautiful birds and I always like to visit them in Margalla Hills, Islamabad.

Tickell's thrush
Tickell's thrush is a passerine bird in the thrush family. They prefer to live in open forest in the Himalayas. They are also found in wood areas living on ground. I saw this bird in Hunza valley and also in Margalla's foothill area. Hard to see them as they travel into bushes.
