Endemic...in drier parts of
Australia...call is a distinct,
high-pitched bell-like song.
Oreoica gutturalis
(L 7.5-9.1")
Hattah-Kulkyne Nat’l Park
29Oct2015
Range has contracted due to
habitat destruction.
The parrot and fantail along with the bellbird
create many tunes in this vale.
Whistles and shrieks…
one syllable notes
or the currawongs’ melodic wail.
