I've always used a soft first G (giraffe) and a hard second G (goat), and the second syllable pronounced "gony". Hope this helps.

Hello,

I was happy to some White-throated Gerygone at Tidbinbilla the other
week, but I have no idea how to pronounce "gerygone".  It was the
subject of much discussion between my girlfriend and me.

Can anybody enlighten me, please?

Cheers,
Huw.
