Dusky Grasswren
4 sections
The Dusky Grasswren (*Amytornis purnelli*) is a small, ground-dwelling bird found only in the rocky ranges of central Australia. It is well adapted to life among spinifex grasses and boulder-strewn hillsides, where it spends much of its time foraging close to the ground and darting between cover. This bird is known for its secretive habits and is a sought-after species for birdwatchers exploring Australia’s arid interior`.`
