Australia has a number of lovely estrelid finches, including several firetail species. Many are arid-country dwellers but some, including the red-eared firetail from the southwest, also live in forests or brushlands. Most firetails have very intricately-patterned plumage with red rumps and some red elsewere, such as these red-eared firetails. I photographed them in Western Australia, near Albany. |
