Artamus leucorynchus


The White-breasted Woodswallow, Artamus leucorynchus, is a small passerine bird which breeds from the Andaman Islands east through Indonesia and northern Australia. The name "woodswallow" is a misnomer as they are not closely related to true . Instead, they belong to the family Artamidae, which also includes , and the Australian Magpie. The species was first described by Linnaeus in 1771, its specific epithet derived from the Ancient Greek words leucos 'white', and rhynchos 'bill'. This woodswallow's soft-plumage is charcoal grey apart from the white underparts that give the species its English and scientific names. Despite its brush-tipped tongue, usually associated with nectar feeders, it catches on the wing. The white-breasted Woodswallow has large, pointed wings and is very agile in powered and gliding flight. This is a nomadic species, following the best conditions for flying , and often roosting in large flocks. Three chicks in a nest, Central Coast, NSW, Australia The nest is a small structure built in the hollow formed by a broken branch, or in a forked branch.
