Field Notes

Description:

The Grey Shrike-thrush is a rather drab coloured bird, although the plumage varies throughout its extensive range. Birds are mostly grey in the east, with an olive-grey back, and pale grey-white cheeks and underparts. In the north, the plumage is predominantly brown, and western birds are grey with buff underparts. Adult males are browner on the mantle than the female and young birds have varying amounts of rufous on the cheeks and wings. (Birdlife Australia)

Habitat:

I spotted this bird amongst the leaf litter near a birdbath, in my front yard in Derby, Western Australia.

Notes:

A very inquisitive bird. Came quite close to me, just looking. A bit camera-shy though!

Cheers Scott! Good idea and done :)
You should add that information to the Habitat box. :-)
