Beautiful Birds on the island- Kangaroo Island Journey #5

Hello Steemit friends!!
Today I wanna share with you my favourite small birds on island.
Some of them are difficult to spot but If you love birds, they are **absolutely gorgeous!**

_**Here are my best 10 small birds on the Kangaroo Island :)**_

## 1.Scarlet Robin
The Scarlet Robin is easy to find and also easier to take photo compare to other small birds. Male have a black head with white patch and bright red on his chest. Female is similar looks however they have brown-greyish colour on its wings. I found them in open forests/woodland area beside the hiking trail.

## 2. Superb Fairy-wren
The Superb Fairy-wren is notable for its marked sexual dimorphism, male has beautiful blue and black contrast on its wings. Female has plain greyish colour on its wings and lighter grey on its belly. Whenever I saw them they are always together so you can find them chasing each other or sitting together.

## 3. Eastern Spinebill
The Eastern Spinebill has very long, down curved beak. Its chest is white and has brownish patch in the centre of the chest. Wings are blue- brownish colour (this picture looks really blue because of the light, but its more brownish colour). They are bit hard to spot as well as take photo, since it doesn’t come closer and move quick.

## 4.European Goldfinch
As you see, European Golffinch has a red face with a black crown. Side of the head is white, and wings are black which has yellow line. On Kangaroo Island you can see this bird around Kingscote area, near the carpark or backyard of the houses. Males and females are similar but female has less red on its face.

## 5. White-browed Scrubwren
I found this white-browed Scrubwren in the bush of the carpark of the Remarkable Rocks. It has dark olive-brawn colour on its back and wings, and a white line above and below the eyes (like it has eye brows!!) Males and Females are similar but females are slightly indistinctly around the face.

## 6. Brown Thornbill
This is a tiny bird on this island, also move real quick so it’s hard to take good photo of it. It has olive brown-greyish on its head to back, the rump has a reddish-brown patch and the tail is grey-brown. Its chest to belly is white, streaked black-brownish and the rye is dark red. Males and females are similar.

## 7. Hooded Plovers
Hooded Plovers has black head and white back neck, also underparts are white. They are known as a beach nesting bird which inhibits sandy ocean beaches and lay their eggs in shallow scrapes in the sand. You can find the information board and sign near the entrance of the Hanson bay beach about this vulnerable birds, but it’s not too hard to find them here. Most of the time you I see them in two or three together running around the beach.

## 8. Red-Browed Finch
As you see Red-browed finch has bright red eyebrow, rump and beak. However, the body is grey underparts and greenish upper body. Males and females are similar.I found them near the grassy area of bushland as well.

## 9. Striated Pardalote
Striated Pardalote on Kangaroo Island has white eyebrows with yellow spot on top of its eyes, olive-grey colour on its back and white stripes in the wings with tiny red dot. Both male and female are similar. I couldn’t really spot this bird so often, but I found them in the shrubs on the clifftop, sometimes on the branch that stick out from the edge of the cliff!

## 10. Southern Emu-wren
Southern Emu-wren is a tiny bird, but it has a long filamentous tail. Grey brown streaked black on upper body, and light brownish on its chest. This bird is very shy and has weak flight so that they prefer to live low in dense cover and run with its tail down. I am so glad to find this rare bird here!!
