The final release in the breathtaking Birds of Australia series features the vibrant Splendid Fairy-wren.
Widely distributed in south-west and inland south-east Australia, the Splendid Fairy-wren inhabits dense shrubs and woodlands. Living in small groups, this jaunty bird hops and bounces among the undergrowth in search of insects.
