Butcherbird

On our aerial, Queensland.

The Pied Butcherbird is widespread throughout large parts of mainland Australia. One of the species’ readily recognised aspects is its beautiful, haunting, flute-like song which may be given throughout the day and sometimes well into moonlit nights. Once heard, the song is difficult to forget, and it has been described as ‘one of the finest in the world’.
