	Little Woodswallow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Woodswallow (Artamus minor), is a bird patchily distributed over much of mainland Australia, avoiding only the driest deserts and the area within about 300 kilometres of the southern coastline, and showing a preference for rugged terrain around inland ranges.
		As its name suggests, at 12 to 14 cm in length it is the smallest of the woodswallows.
		Little Woodswallows soar effortlessly above the treetops or along cliff faces when hunting flying insects—being small, they are easily confused with martins.

	Tropical Birding Australia Tour
		Once we had taken a chunk out of the land birds, it was time to hit the muddy shore where we had things such as the Great, Intermediate and Little Egrets, the White-faced Heron and the Pacific Reef-Heron, mixed with the Sacred and Straw-necked Ibis and the majority of the shorebird species wintering in Australia.
		Birding the garden there and walking the Black-Mountain Road, this came in the form of the Yellow-breasted Boatbill, a classy little brightly coloured flycatcher, and cracking face to face looks at the Eastern Whipbird which was another new family for the group.
		After the close encounter we picked up the White-throated Treecreeper giving a call which I had never heard either in the field or on tape, which is a nice way of saying I did not have a clue what was calling when I first heard it.

	Eastern Australia top to bottom
		This is a seriously sexy little bird and we were surprised to have it so active in the mid-afternoon heat.
		These dainty little guys may only come out for very short periods, but when you get a view, you just can't believe how cute they are.
		A little further along the road we stopped at a flooded field on what was once a billabong, where we had great looks at Yellow-billed Spoonbill, a male Musk Duck and our first Red-kneed Dotterel.

	birds around the Kachana Homestead Area.
		During this survey 54 species of birds were recorded compared to the 98 that have been previously recorded at Kachana Station.
		Four species were recorded during the survey that had not been previously recorded in this one-degree block in the Atlas of Australian Birds.
		These records of Northern Rosella, Singing Bushlark and White breasted Woodswallow fill in a gap in the Kimberley distribution of these species.

		Mostly their calls comprise of high twitters and little whistles (0.00 throughout), but they also have a very sweet multi-syllable song (1.16, 1.23, 1.29, 1.41...).
		Quite often the outback landscape is filled with their soft little calls, although you may not be aware of them because they are so delicate as to be almost subliminal.
		They also have an evocative little 'dup', contact call (several around 2.56 - 3.00 as first bird flies in) which are heard here interspersed within their song.

		This is one of the few areas of the park where I have often seen Dusky Woodswallows and I suspect that in some years they nest in that corner of the Park.
		Its silhouette as it flew up looked to me like a small parrot and when I got a little closer and got the binoculars on it I was delighted to recognise a Blue-winged Parrot (Neophema chrysostoma) [HYPERLINK@www.aussiebirds.bravepages.com].
		With its relatives they are called Grass Parrots and they often feed in open grasslands sometimes in quite large flocks, but they move into forested areas to nest.

	British Isles Birding \| by Richard Bonser
		In the more arid, outback areas between Biloela and Emerald species such as Apostlebird, Black-faced Woodswallow, Little Crow, Brown Falcon and Red-winged Parrot were seen.
		At the north end of this road, the Freshwater Lagoon bird hide was unproductive due to the lack of water (only a Brown Falcon and a few White-faced Herons were present from here) whilst the Jacana bird hide had apparently been burnt down.
		I, along with a couple of Dutch birders, took a ride in the Ocean Spirit’s beach boat to the sandy spit on the other side of the island where Black-naped Terns were resting but despite constant searching for the duration of our stay on the island we could not locate any Black Noddies.

		Twenty-two of our members converged on the cattle station which was the headquarters for our operation, sited about 70kms.
		From this point we fanned-out in groups of three or four each vehicle to check out blocks which had been either little, or never before atlassed.
		This involved travelling to the allotted blocks and searching as many sites as possible within each to get the best possible cover.

		We head out for the park in the center of town, where one of the local aboriginal men has constructed a billabong, and it is being slowly filled.
		An artist has made larger-than-life statues of aboriginal man, woman, little boy, kangaroo and snake, and placed them all in a red-dirt setting with a few palm trees and a crude hut.
		As you walk along, stepping on small roots the mangroves put up for air, mud flicks up from the person in front of you so that by the end of the walk, we are covered from about chest down with mud flecks, plus our boots are totally covered with mud.

		Just as we thought we were going to be thwarted again, a male bird flew onto an open branch; a little later, we saw a male and female sitting together.
		A little later, just as we were driving back to the road we saw a much closer bird.
		Little Crows were common between Carnarvon and Shark Bay.

	BIRDCHAT archives -- December 2003, week 2 (#54)
		After a bit of persistence we managed to find near the pools a Little Woodswallow* and a Gouldian Finch*.
		Highlights were 4 Nankeen Night-Herons, 4 White-bellied Sea-Eagles, 2 Azure Kingfishers and 1 Little Kingfisher* - at one stage we had the two kingfisher species in view at the same time.
		Non-avian sightings of note were 2 large ''Salties' on the East Alligator River and colonies of Black and Little Red Flying Foxes (what a smell!).

		The coastal scrub habitat here revealed little of interest although a Sooty Oystercatcher was present on the rocks east of the lighthouse and a school of Bottle-nosed Dolphins impressed as they dived in and out of the water just offshore.
		Returning south from Daintree towards Mossman, a road to Newell Beach runs eastwards from the highway about five kilometres north of Mossman (coming from the north it is not clearly signposted).
		The only bird of note seen during the crossing was a Wilson's Storm-Petrel although Brown Boobies, Sooty Terns and Brown Noddies were seen once the Cay was in sight and a Humpback Whale performed well to the assembled crowd.
