Where to spot
Found in southeastern and southwestern Australia, Tasmania, and some offshore islands, inhabiting open eucalypt forests, woodlands, and heathland.
How to spot
Look for them in the understory or on low perches, often darting out to catch insects. Males are unmistakable due to their bright red. Listen for their soft, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year, but some populations may move to lower elevations or coastal areas in winter. Most active during the day.
