Again the humble sandfly gets a snub. If a bat can win so should our bitey airborne tiny thing.

    I'm an undecided voter, gonna try to sell them to me? What do you like about those two in particular?

    both very unassuming, and seldom seen.

    You might see fernbirds, but will more often just hear a double tick-tick-tick-chirp

    Australasian bittern, good luck see one of them. If you are very lucky you might just hear one 'booming' with a himpf-himpf call
