Once you know which birds live in what layers, bird identification becomes much easier.

Another way to recognise woodland birds is learning how they move.

For me, another sign that I'm looking at honey eaters is that they're chasing each other around the trees.

Emmy says that she's been practicing learning how to identify woodland birds by their calls and the ways that they communicate with each other.

A lot of the time, the only way that I can remember a woodland bird's call is through repetition.

Listening to a recording before I head out on a walk and listening to the actual bird while I'm in the forest.

Emmy says that she's the same.

And now you know the call of the glossy black cockatoo as well.

In birdwatching language, a bogey bird is a bird that you've been trying to see for years, but always miss out on.

Emmy's bogey bird was the diamond firetail, which is a bird that we haven't talked about on the show before.

If you've never seen a diamond firetail before and it's safe to do a google search right now I highly recommend looking it up.

If you can't here's a description from Emmy.

How funny is the Diamond Fire Tales song?

Thanks to Mark Anderson for his recordings.

The latest data from BirdLife Australia is that over one third of Australia's land birds, almost 200 species, depend on woodlands to survive.

And with 80% of temperate woodlands having been cleared, at least one in five of these species is now threatened with extinction.

It's a hard fact to digest and I'm grateful to scientists like Emmy who are using data to help others protect what is left and keeping everyone else accountable.

And as a bird lover, you can look out for signs that a woodland is healthy as well.

Coarse woody debris in Australian woodlands refers to dead, fallen trees, logs and large branches that are on the ground.

Woody debris is an essential habitat for lots of different types of animals, so it's worth thinking twice before you decide to collect them for your fireplace at home.
