Sightings
We live in an overlap area between the habitats of two
species of Miners. Near Narrabri, New South Wales,
Yellow-throated Miners are not as common as
Noisy Miners. However, we
have spotted them in various locations in and around
Narrabri in the years 2005 to 2008, including where
we lived in April 2008, 20 km east of town.
