Australian Logrunner

The Australian Logrunner is a small, ground-dwelling bird found in the rainforests of eastern Australia. Specially adapted for life on the forest floor, this species is best known for its unique foraging technique and spiny tail. While often heard before seen, patient birders can spot them as they scratch through leaf litter in search of food. The Logrunner is endemic to Australia and is sometimes called the spine-tailed logrunner due to its distinctive tail feathers.
