Spotted
The Jacky Winter is a small, common Australian flyrobin, recognized by its upright posture and plain grey-brown plumage with a distinctive white bar on its wings. It is known for its repetitive, melodic call.
Where to spot
Widespread across mainland Australia, found in open woodlands, forests, mallee, and semi-arid shrublands, often near clearings or edges.
How to spot
Look for it perched prominently on a low branch, fence post, or wire, often bobbing its head. Listen for its repetitive, whistling 'peter-peter-peter' call, which is highly diagnostic.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Most active during the day, particularly in the mornings.

Jacky Winters are well-known for their 'flycatching' behavior, making short, acrobatic sallies from a low perch to snatch insects in mid-air, often returning to the same spot.
