The Striated Fieldwren is a small, streaky brown, ground-dwelling bird found in southeastern Australia. It inhabits wet heaths, sedgelands, and damp grasslands. Its cryptic plumage provides excellent camouflage, making it difficult to spot, but its persistent song often reveals its presence.
Where to spot
Endemic to damp heathlands, sedgelands, and wet grasslands in southeastern Australia, primarily Tasmania and coastal Victoria and New South Wales.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, rapid, trilling song given from within dense vegetation. Patience is essential; remain still and wait for it to briefly appear on top of a tussock or shrub.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but most vocal during the breeding season (spring). Best observed early mornings.

Its song is a rapid, musical trill, often described as 'sewing machine-like', which is surprisingly loud for such a small and secretive bird.
