Spotted
The Buff-rumped Thornbill is a common thornbill recognized by its buff-colored rump and active foraging habits on the ground and in low vegetation. It is widespread in southeastern Australia.
Where to spot
Found in a variety of eucalypt forests and woodlands across southeastern Australia, including Tasmania, preferring areas with good ground cover.
How to spot
Look for the buff rump patch, which is a good identifier. Listen for its distinctive, slightly buzzing 'tsee-tsee-tsee' calls. Observe its ground-foraging behavior carefully.
When to spot
Active year-round. Often seen in pairs or small family groups, moving through the undergrowth.

This species often forages on the ground around the base of trees, flicking leaf litter to disturb insects, a behavior less common in many other thornbills.
