Thank you Jack Morgan, Jenny Donald & Brendan Duggan for confirming the id of this species for us EXTRA - Photo Specific Information: They have this strange habit of a flock of birds flying to a single dead upright branch, and seeing who manages to get on top. It's the only bird we've seen do this. General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Olive head with a thick yellow line (plume) under the ear. Striated, buff breast. The back is striated-grey bleeding to yellow wings. | |||||
