The Rockwarbler is a highly localized and unique songbird endemic to the sandstone gorges and rocky outcrops of central eastern New South Wales, Australia. It is a ground-dwelling bird, expertly camouflaged against the rocks with its mottled grey-brown plumage. This species builds extraordinary pendulous nests.

Strictly endemic to sandstone areas, rocky gorges, and cliffs in the Blue Mountains and adjacent regions of central eastern New South Wales, Australia.
How to spot
Look for it foraging among rocks and vegetation near cliff faces. Listen for its distinctive, loud, ringing song. Scan rock ledges and overhangs for its unique nest.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active during the day. Best observed in spring when more vocal and nesting.
