The Paperbark Flycatcher is a small, active songbird endemic to northern Australia. It is typically associated with wetland habitats and paperbark forests, where it forages for insects. Its swift movements and simple calls characterize its presence in these unique environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to northern Australia, ranging from Western Australia across the Top End of the Northern Territory to Queensland. It is predominantly found in open forests and woodlands, especially near watercourses, swamps, and paperbark (Melaleuca) environments.
How to spot
Scan the canopy and mid-story of paperbark trees and other waterside vegetation. Look for its active foraging style, darting from perches to catch insects. Its plain brownish-grey upperparts and paler underparts, along with its characteristic habitat, are good clues.
When to spot
Present year-round in its tropical range. Observation is generally good throughout the day, particularly when insect activity is high.

This flycatcher is named after its preferred habitat: the moist, often flooded, woodlands dominated by paperbark trees (Melaleuca species) found across tropical northern Australia.
