Colour Print - "Rufous Fantail" (7321)

Description

The dainty Rufous Fantail is usually seen singly or occasionally in twos, flitting about below the canopy of moist eucalypt forests and rainforests, where they usually inhabit the dense, shady undergrowth of gullies. Foraging mostly in the air, Rufous Fantails often perch restlessly on the branches, with their wings continually fidgeted and the tail almost always fanned, regularly making short, jerky flights out from the perch, flitting and fluttering, diving, twisting and looping near the foliage and branches to dislodge, flush or catch insect prey.
