Field Guide
Tree Martin
4 sections
The Tree Martin is a sleek, aerial insectivore found across Australia, known for its swift, acrobatic flight and cheerful twittering. Slightly larger than the Fairy Martin, this small swallow is about the length of a finger and is highly adaptable, thriving in habitats from remote woodlands to city parks. Its ability to exploit both natural and artificial nesting sites has made it one of Australia’s most widespread and familiar aerial birds.
