New Zealand Fernbird

Poodytes punctatus

Least Concern

The New Zealand Fernbird is a grassbird, bush warbler, grasshopper warbler, or close ally of New Zealand wetlands, scrub, and fernland. It stays low in dense grass, reeds, bracken, or forest understorey, searching for insects and spiders, and many species are more often heard by their trilling songs than seen.
