Distribution

Distribution and habitat preferences

The Little Woodswallow (Artamus minor), is a bird patchily distributed over much of mainland Australia, avoiding only the driest deserts and the area within about 300 kilometres of the southern coastline, and showing a preference for rugged terrain around inland ranges. (Wikipedia)

Behaviour

Like other woodswallows, groups cluster huddled close together on high, dead branches to rest or sleep. Typical group sizes are modest but it is not uncommon to have hundreds gather together at a roost site. (Wikipedia)

Diet

Little Woodswallows soar effortlessly above the treetops or along cliff faces when hunting flying insects. (Wikipedia)
