                                 sometimes breeds. It sometimes
                                 utilises lowland coastal forest, which
                                 may act as a refuge when its usual
                                 habitat is affected by drought. It also
                                 uses a range of other habitats
                                 including remnant patches in
                                 farmland and urban areas, roadside
                                 reserves and travelling stock routes
                                 (DCCEEW, 2025).

 Calyptorhynchus lathami         This species prefers woodland areas       A small number of large arboreal

                                 beneath Eucalyptus, Corymbia or           trees were observed within the clearing

 Hirundapus caudacutus           In Australia, the White-throated General habitat is present however the

                                 Because they are aerial, it has been
                                 stated that conventional habitat
                                 descriptions are inapplicable. There
                                 are, nevertheless, certain preferences
                                 exhibited by the species. Although
                                 they occur over most types of habitat,
                                 they are probably recorded most
                                 often above wooded areas, including
                                 open forest and rainforest, and may
                                 also fly between trees or in clearings,
                                 below the canopy, but they are less
                                 commonly recorded flying above
                                 woodland. They also commonly occur
                                 over heathland, but less often over
                                 treeless areas, such as grassland or
                                 swamps (DCCEEW, 2025).
