White-breasted Whistler
East Point (Darwin)
Previous visits to the tropical North have proved frustrating in chasing the male. A reticence to pose patiently in bright sunlight appears to be beyond its level of patience! My best effort to date - the mollusc helps.

Broad-billed Flycatcher
East Point (Darwin)
I was searching East Point for this species when a visiting twitcher from the UK mentioned that she had seen a "dark bird with a mandarin-coloured breast" on the boardwalk. Subsequently located and photographed the male, shots of which could not be conclusively proved to be BBFC (although the brilliant bib did it for me). Accompanying shot of immature shows graduated rectrices and pale lores. Many thanks to the visiting birder.
