Ian’s Bird of the Week – (Norfolk Island) Golden Whistler ~ by Ian Montgomery Newsletter: 5-4-12 My apologies for a belated bird of the week. When I was in Eungella recently chasing the so-named Honeyeater, I encountered a very obliging male Golden Whistler, below, so I’ve chosen it to introduce this week’s subject. It’s one of [...]

Ian’s Bird of the Week – Cape Petrel ~ by Ian Montgomery My records show that no Petrel and only one Shearwater (Buller’s) has ever featured as bird of the week.

Ian’s Bird of the Week – Common White Tern ~ by Ian Montgomery Newsletter – 4/2/12 Another species on my photo list on Norfolk Island was the (Common) White Tern.
