Spotted
The Black-throated Finch is an endangered Australian finch, easily identified by its prominent black throat patch. It prefers grassy woodlands.
Where to spot
Historically widespread in eastern Australia, now highly localized to fragmented populations in grassy open woodlands and savannas, often near water.
How to spot
Due to its endangered status, sightings are rare and location-specific. Focus on protected areas with suitable grassy woodland habitat. Look for its distinctive black throat and listen for its 'tweep' calls.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its remaining habitats. Breeding activity is most prominent during the wet season.
