White-winged Triller |
Sightings
Although we know that they were around for an extended period of time, we have seen White-winged Trillers only once in 2004 where we lived at the time south of Narrabri, New South Wales. In 2005 a couple appeared again in our garden and returned in late September of 2006. The next sighting was in September 2007, 20 km west of Narrabri.

Frontal view of a male bird in its breeding plumage. Note the similarity with a Restless Flycatcher; the difference lies in the height of the transition from white to black colour, which lies further below the eye of a Restless Flycatcher than that of a White-winged Triller
