I'm sure some Aussie birders must have seen blue rockthrush in Malaysia,
I saw one on one of the little islands just off Kota Kinabalu.

We get them in Japan on rocky outcrops. I have never seen nor
heard  of one being seen inland.


The blue rockthrush has a mostly blue upper half and a chestnut brown
lower back and stomach, it is a stunning bird. The female is a mottled
greying brown color with no evidence of blue. Definately a bird to be
found on coastlines and near rocks.
There is also a white -tailed blue rockthrush but  I have never seen
one.
