Description
The White-browed Woodswallow Artamus superciliosus (Gould, 1837) is a small (17 cm) songbird, blue-grey on the upperparts and chestnut on the underparts, with a black face and white eyebrows. Its wings are long, pointed and appear triangular when in soaring flight, while the white-tipped tail is often twisted and fanned. The bill is blue-grey with a black tip.
Females are duller than males. The White-browed Woodswallow occurs in eastern, northern and central Australia. In New South Wales it typically breeds in open forests and woodlands from the inland slopes to the far western plains but during dry years its distribution extends east to open habitats of the tablelands and coast (Higgins et al. 2006).
And even that its native to eastern NSW, I have never seen him in the wild. This pic was taken at Wildlife sanctuary at Darling Harbour.
