Western Gerygone

Gerygone fusca (Gould, 1838)

Western Gerygone, Gerygone fusca, is a passerine of Australia, breeding across most of the mainland except the south-east, east and Tasmania. It is the most widespread gerygone and is found in inland and south-west areas, including two island populations near Perth. Plain brownish-grey upperparts and the large white patches at the base of the outer tail feathers help set it apart from similar birds. It lives in open forest, woodland, dry shrubland and other wooded country, often near watercourses, and is usually seen alone or in pairs.
