    A favourite bird, love them. Their common name of 'owl finch' seems appropriate when viewing them front on, that thin band of black feathers forming a perfect facial circle. A lovely sighting and shot Ernst! Posted 5 years ago

The Double-barred Finch

The Double-barred Finch is an estrildid finch found in dry savanna, tropical dry grassland and shrubland habitats in northern and eastern Australia. They are sometimes referred to as Bicheno's Finch; and also as Owl Finch, owing to the dark ring of feathers around their faces.
