Grey Fantail
Rhipidura albiscapa
The Grey Fantail is most easily recognised by its constantly fanned tail and agile aerial twists and turns. Both sexes are similar in appearance: grey above, with white eyebrow, throat and tail edges. This species is quite inquisitive and will closely approach an observer. It feeds on flying insects, which it catches by chasing them from the edge of foliage at all levels in the canopy.
