Vik's Gallery:   Olive Whistler (1/6)

PASSERIFORMES: Pachycephalidae

Pachycephala olivacea  

Green and Osborne* comment that the Olive Whistler is one of the more secretive mountain birds.

Not the case on this occasion when a pair of Olive Whistlers came to have a good look at us as we trekked up towards the top of Mount St Gwinear and then hung around while I took photographs.
