The White-winged Fairywren is a striking species inhabiting arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, with males displaying either brilliant blue or black plumage contrasted by prominent white wings.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid grasslands, saltbush plains, and shrublands across inland Australia and on offshore islands.
How to spot
Look for them scurrying through low vegetation. Their bright white wing patches are a key identification feature. Listen for their soft, high-pitched calls. They can be very quick.
When to spot
Most active in the cooler parts of the day, early morning or late afternoon, to avoid extreme heat.
