The Eyrean Grasswren (*Amytornis goyderi*) is the smallest member of Australia’s grasswren family and is known for its elusive behaviour and adaptation to the arid sand dune country of Central Australia. This bird is rarely seen away from its preferred canegrass habitat, making sightings a highlight for birdwatchers exploring the Simpson and Strzelecki Deserts.
