The White-fronted Chat is a striking small passerine endemic to Australia. Known for its bold white forehead and throat, it is a distinctive ground-dwelling bird often found in open habitats.
Where to spot
Found across southern and eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Look for it in open grassy areas, saltmarsh, wetlands, agricultural landscapes, and coastal heaths.
How to spot
Identify by its contrasting white forehead and throat, black face, and grey back. Often seen scurrying on the ground or perched low on shrubs. Listen for its high-pitched, metallic 'tink' calls.
When to spot
These birds are resident year-round throughout their range. They are most active during daylight hours, particularly in the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon.

Unlike many honeyeaters that primarily feed on nectar, the White-fronted Chat's diet consists mainly of insects, which it skillfully gleans from the ground and low vegetation.
