Field Notes
Description:
The Australian magpie (Cracticus tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea.
The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm (14.5–17 in) in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill.
One of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. I love this about Australia, the song of the magpie in the morning.
Habitat:
Garden of a tea house just outside Springbrook National Park. Cool temperate rainforest, approx 1000 meters
