The Australian Logrunner is a ground-dwelling bird endemic to eastern Australia's rainforests. It is famed for its peculiar foraging method, using its stiff tail to displace leaf litter.
Where to spot
Inhabits rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests along the east coast of Australia, from south-eastern Queensland to central New South Wales.
How to spot
Listen for the loud, distinctive scratching and rustling sounds as it kicks leaf litter sideways. Remain still and observe the forest floor. Look for its stout legs and stiff, spiny tail.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often heard foraging in the leaf litter.
