Tentang

The Arafura Fantail is a small, active passerine from the Arafura region of northern Australia and nearby islands, weighing about 8.6 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. Like other fantails, it fans its tail conspicuously while hawking insects in forest understory and woodland margins. Its restless, acrobatic foraging behavior makes it a lively presence in lowland habitats.
