Yellow-throated Miner
(Manorina flavigula)


 

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.
