Silence is not Golden (Pachycephala pectoralis)

Ken and Judy really kept the pressure up by spotting new birds for me in the trees, some I just couldn't see, which was very frustrating. But this one stood out beautifully for me.

A beautiful Golden Whistler! After this I heard no end of them as they have a very distinctive call, but they weren't always easy to see.

What a wonderful bird to capture, and caught out in the open. A brilliant colourfully framed shot, Delia, well done.
