General:
The buff-rumped thornbill (Acanthiza reguloides)[3] is a species of thornbill found in open forest land in eastern Australia, specifically around Sydney, south of Chinchilla and east of Cobar[4] in an area of 1,000,000–10,000,000 km².[1] The buff-rumped thornbill is found in temperate or subtropical/tropical moist environments[1] living and feeding amidst the foliage or on the ground.[5] However, they are known to prefer nesting sites one to two metres above ground level, particularly amongst the bark of trees.[5] Of a similar size to other thornbills, 8–10 cm long, the buff-rumped thornbill is identifiable by its "buff-coloured rump and belly"[4] and white irides in its eyes.[5]
