Where to spot
Widespread across mainland Australia and southern New Guinea, inhabiting a variety of open habitats, farmlands, urban parks, and suburban gardens.
How to spot
Easily spotted due to its bold black and white plumage and habit of foraging on open ground. Listen for its characteristic 'pee-o-wit' or 'pee-wee' calls, often given in a coordinated duet by a pair.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons.
