White-winged Triller

4 sections

The White-winged Triller is a small migratory songbird found across mainland Australia, renowned for its seasonal transformation. During the breeding season, males adopt a bold black-and-white appearance. These birds are most often encountered in open woodlands, lightly timbered areas, and grassy eucalypt forests, where their clear trilling calls signal their presence from spring through summer.
