The Jacky Winter is a small robin found across much of Australia’s open woodlands, farmlands, and parks. Known for its gentle grey-brown tones and lively tail-wagging behaviour, this species is often seen perched on exposed branches or fence posts, scanning for insects and producing its clear, repetitive calls.
