The Southern Scrub Robin is a terrestrial Australian bird known for its skulking habits and reliance on dense undergrowth. Its plumage is a blend of browns, providing excellent camouflage in its dry habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to southern Australia, inhabiting mallee, dry eucalypt woodlands, and heathlands with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Patience is key. Focus on dense undergrowth; it is more often heard than seen. Listen for its distinctive, often rich and varied, territorial song, which can lead you to its location.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It can be elusive during the middle of the day but is often more active and vocal in the early morning and late afternoon.

Unlike many robins that forage by flycatching, the Southern Scrub Robin primarily forages on the ground, often scratching through leaf litter with its strong legs to find insects.
