Artamus leucorhynchus
Male and female similar in a blueish grey colouring with white underparts, blue grey legs, lighter blue grey beak. These birds grow to about 17cm and gather in small groups feeding on insects. A chatty and cheeky bird.
Found throughout most of Australia except far south west and south. Usually seen near water in woodland areas. Often takes over use of old Magpie Lark (Peewee) mud nests.
A cheeky family of woodswallows lives here, these ones hanging outside my window picking up rocks moving them where they think they look best, showing rocks & sticks off to me through the window.
