Just want to thank you all for the identification and discussion around the 
female Golden whistler - and for the suggestion to join the BMBO group in the 
Blue Mountains....which I have done. I have learnt a lot!

Cheers

Da

Hi Graeme,

Indeed, I also reckon parts of the Boyd Plateau probably have suitable habitat. 
These are areas most birders don’t get to.

Unfortunately snow in the Blue Mountains is nowhere near as regular as it used 
to be.

Cheers,

Carol
