Sightings
We knew the call of Yellow Thornbills long before we ever caught a glimpse of them or even took a photo. They are furtive little birds that remain in the trees, mostly in shady areas.
Seen by us foraging in trees together with other thornbills (Inland Thornbills and Brown Thornbills>) in May 2008.
