The Tawny Grassbird is a widespread species across Australia and Southeast Asia, known for its streaky, tawny plumage. It is a secretive bird of dense, tall grasslands.
Where to spot
Widespread across Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and northern/eastern Australia, inhabiting tall grasslands, reedbeds, and dense scrub, often near water.
How to spot
Focus on dense, tall grasslands. Listen for its distinctive, loud, and often explosive song, which is a series of short, sharp notes. Watch for it briefly perching on exposed stems.
When to spot
Year-round resident in most areas. Most vocal and detectable during the breeding season (varies regionally), especially in the mornings and evenings.
This grassbird often perches on top of tall grass stems or reeds to sing, making it briefly visible before it drops back into cover.
