Flock BronzewingFlock Bronzewing – male Flock Bronzewing – flight
The nomadic Flock Bronzewing (Phaps histrionica) are endemic to the more arid parts of Australia. Observed in a variety of habitats from grassy plains to spinifex, saltbush and mulga country, they have a need for water, and are seen near pools of water, stock tanks, bore drains and wastewater treatment (sewerage ponds).
Pictured here is the male Flock Bronzewing at the Alice Springs Sewage Ponds in Central Australia.
