Golden Whistler   ♫

I've been trying to get some video footage of the Golden Whistler for a couple of weeks, now. Today I finally managed to do so. It didn't hold still for long, unfortunately; but better luck next time. Indeed, it came within 2 or 3 feet of me, curiously checking me out closely, which was delightful; but my camera and tripod were pointed in the wrong direction. By the time I got my gear organised, it was gone.

Apparently the Golden Whistlers diet consists of insects, spiders and other small arthropods. It also feeds on berries. So was it partaking of some ripe privet berries growing around my place? (Silvereyes and other birds, too, certainly relish them! Bats too!)
