Spotted
The Flock Bronzewing is a striking pigeon, recognized by its bold black-and-white facial markings and its habit of forming large flocks. It is a nomadic species, moving across inland Australia in search of food and water.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in arid and semi-arid inland Australia, particularly in Queensland, Northern Territory, and parts of Western Australia, favoring open grasslands and sparse woodlands near water.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive facial pattern: a white forehead and eyebrow stripe contrasting with a black line through the eye and across the nape. Observe its strong, direct flight in tight flocks. Listen for their soft, cooing calls.
When to spot
Best observed at dawn or dusk when large numbers gather at waterholes to drink. During the day, they disperse to forage.

True to its name, the Flock Bronzewing is one of the few pigeon species that forms large, dense flocks, sometimes numbering in the thousands, especially when converging on waterholes in arid regions.
