In the warm, open woodlands of northern Australia and New Guinea, this ash-toned flier sweeps through the air with effortless grace. It hunts insects on the wing, gliding and banking smoothly before settling back onto exposed branches in loose, social groups. What makes it extraordinary is its cooperative spirit — sharing roosts, raising young together, and helping regulate insect populations across vast savannas. A soft silhouette against wide skies, yet a steadfast guardian of open-country balance.
