Western Bristlebird
3 sections
The Western Bristlebird *(Dasyornis longirostris)* is a small, elusive bird found only in a few coastal heathland pockets of southwestern Western Australia. Endemic to this region, it is now restricted to areas east of Albany, such as Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve and Fitzgerald River National Park. This ground-dwelling species is best detected by its rich, melodious song, as it prefers to scurry through dense vegetation rather than fly.
