The Yellow-rumped Thornbill is one of Australia's most common and recognizable small birds. It is easily identified by its bright yellow rump, which is striking against its otherwise drab brown and grey plumage. This social species is frequently seen foraging on the ground in open grassy areas.
Where to spot
Widespread across most of mainland Australia and Tasmania. Found in a wide range of open habitats, including grasslands, open woodlands, farmlands, parks, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow rump as it feeds on the ground or among low vegetation. Listen for its high-pitched, tinkling, and often cheerful calls. They are generally quite approachable.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Active throughout the day.
