A short video of Dusky Woodswallows, one of six Australian woodswallow species. These were found feeding on the edge of the Darling Range scarp in a woodland at Lesmurdie, near Perth Western Australia.
Dusky Woodswallows usually hawk for insects from an branch, but will also land on the ground to feed and sometimes take nectar from blossoms. They often look very sleek, due to a special waxy powder down they spread during preening.
