my first Male Golden Whistler

I have heard him several times, and looked and looked for him, but it was just a few weeks ago I finally snapped my first pic.

Good work. Female and immature I see everywhere and they pose nicely, but I always struggle with the male, I don't think I have a decent shot of the male to this day

Hellobirdy,

Yes, one would think with the bright yellow they would be a standout to find, but that lovely bright golden yellow just blends so well with foliage.

thank you for your kind comments.

I agree with all the comments about the male bird. Nice capture Wollemi. They do respond to call back if you want to attract them.

Well done Wollemi, hopefully he will give you plenty more opportunities to get more shots of him in the future.

Well done finally getting him. I got my first one for a long while just the other day. Agree, even though they are bightly coloured they seem to blend in well. I bet now that you have him you wil see him all the time. Seems to be the way.
