Pied Thrush/Pied Ground Thrush/ගෝමර වල් අවිච්චියා/ගෝමර තිරාසිකයා[Gomara Wal Awichchiya/Gomara Tirasikaya] (Zoothera wardii)

Rather uncommon winter migrant to forests, ravines and well -wooded gardens in the mid hills and above, arriving in October to November and leaving back to its breeding grounds in the Himalayas about March. Pied Thrush mainly feeds on insects on the ground, turning over the leaves beneath the undergrowth. It also eats berries of tall trees.
