The Diamond Firetail is a strikingly beautiful Australian finch, known for its bright red bill, black face band, and white-spotted flanks. It is often found in open woodlands.
Where to spot
Endemic to southeastern Australia, inhabiting grassy woodlands, mallee, and savannas, often near water and open clearings.
How to spot
Look for their distinctive red bill and black chest band. They are often seen foraging on the ground in open woodlands or perched conspicuously. Listen for their mournful calls.
