Rufous Whistler (juvenile)

Over the last few days we have been enjoying the beautiful song of a Rufous Whistler in our garden. The whistlers are aptly named – their songs would be amongst the most beautiful in all of the Australian birds.  I enjoy hearing this species calling just outside my ofice window at home. Unfortunately they are not here every day. It is an added bonus when they do decide to visit.

We also get visited by the Golden Whistler. The male of that species is not only a wonderful songster, he is also very beautiful.
