The Rufous Fieldwren is a small, streaky, ground-dwelling bird adapted to the arid and semi-arid interior of Australia. Its rufous-tinged plumage helps it blend into the dry grasslands and shrublands it inhabits. This species is often difficult to see but its persistent song is a key identifier.
Where to spot
Widespread across arid and semi-arid grasslands, chenopod shrublands, and sparse mallee in inland Australia, from Western Australia to Queensland.
How to spot
Listen for its high-pitched, often trilling and repetitive song given from within or on top of low vegetation. Look for its streaky plumage and agile movements through grass and low shrubs.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring), particularly in the mornings and late afternoons.

Rufous Fieldwrens often perform a 'distraction display' where they feign injury to draw predators away from their nest.
