The Black-eared Miner is a critically endangered honeyeater, highly restricted to mallee woodlands in southeastern Australia. It is distinguished by a black patch around the eye extending to the ear.
Where to spot
Restricted to remnant mallee woodlands in southeastern Australia, primarily in Victoria and South Australia.
How to spot
Focus on remaining patches of intact mallee habitat. Look for miners with a distinct black mark around the eye. Listen for their calls, which are similar to other miners but may have subtle differences.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but due to its rarity and restricted habitat, dedicated searching is required.
