Eastern Yellow Robin

Look low in the understorey of eucalypt forest and woodland across eastern Australia for a quiet, olive-yellow robin that perches close to the trunk at low height and drops to the ground to snatch insects before returning to its perch. It tends to sit still and face away from observers, so movement at ground level is often the best cue to its presence. It is a year-round resident and can be found in the same territory across seasons, making a known patch of forest a reliable spot.
