Where to spot
Endemic to northern Australia, including parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory. It inhabits tropical eucalypt woodlands and open forests.
How to spot
Similar to other shrike-tits, look for its distinctive black and white head and observe its unique foraging behavior. Listen for its loud, clear calls, which are a key identifier for this species within its range.
When to spot
Active year-round in its tropical range. Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the cooler parts of the morning.
