The Magpie-lark (Grallina cyanoleuca) is a conspicuous bird of small to medium size, usually known as the Mudlark in Victoria and South Australia and the Peewee in New South Wales and Queensland. It is common and very widespread, occupying the entire continent except for Tasmania and some of the inland desert in the far north-west of Western Australia.

A primarily carnivorous species that eats all sorts of small creatures, the Magpie-lark can adapt to an enormous range of different habitats, requiring only some soft, bare ground for foraging, a supply of mud for making a nest, and a tree to make it in.
