Acanthiza chrysorrhoa
The Yellow-rumped Thornbill builds a large, double-storeyed nest with a 'false' nest on top.
The Yellow-rumped Thornbill is found on the ground in open habitats, such as woodlands, forests, shrublands and grasslands with some trees. It is also common in agricultural lands, along watercourses, beside roads and in parks and gardens. It is found in most climatic zones, but only sparse in tropics, arid zone and east of the Great Dividing Range.
spotted in Vitoria, Australia
Again, another little gem of a bird, beautifully captured. I especially love their speckled foreheads.
