Woodswallows
The Woodswallows are not particularly well known birds, even though they are widespread across Australia. They are skillful fliers, catching their insect prey on the wing. In the case of the Little Woodswallow, they are often seen soaring high above mountaintops or rocky outcrops to feed. Many times during our travels they have been companions to us, of sorts, as we have taken in the view after a strenuous climb, and notice these little birds zooming around nearby. Their clever aerobatics seem almost mocking of our clumsy, earthbound ways.
