Spotted
The Black-faced Cuckooshrike is a very common and widespread bird across Australia and parts of New Guinea. It is easily recognized by its grey plumage, black face, and undulating flight.
Where to spot
Highly adaptable, found in almost all habitats with trees, from open forests and woodlands to suburban parks and gardens, across Australia, New Guinea, and surrounding islands.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black 'mask' and grey body. Watch for its unique wing-shuffling behavior upon landing. Listen for its soft, rolling 'chereer' call.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen singly, in pairs, or small flocks. It is resident or migratory, observable year-round.

Known as the 'Shufflewing' due to its characteristic habit of constantly adjusting its wings on its back after landing, as if shrugging its shoulders.
