Field Notes

Description:

Two narrow, black bars which extend across (and contrast with) its otherwise white front — one goes across its breast and the other across the lower portion of its throat.
This second bar encloses the bird’s face.

Habitat:

Dry grassy woodland, open forest, grassy dry scrub, farmland and, never far from water.

Notes:

My first reference for identification: The Michael Morcombe eGuide to Australian Birds, Mobile App.
