4 sections
The Black-eared Miner is a rare, medium-sized honeyeater found only in a few areas of southeastern Australia, where it inhabits mature, unburnt mallee woodland. Endemic to this region, it is listed as endangered and is one of Australia’s rarest birds, with only a few hundred pure individuals estimated to remain in the wild. The species is recognised by its predomitly grey plumage, distinctive black facial mask.
