Field Guide

Little Grassbird

4 sections

The Little Grassbird is a small, elusive bird that lives in wetlands and dense reed beds across much of Australia and parts of New Guinea. More often heard than seen, its soft, three-note whistle is a familiar sound in swamps and marshes. This bird is a classic example of an Australian wetland specialist, quietly moving through thick vegetation and often remaining hidden from view.
