Hi John
Easiest spot i know for Silver-backed Butcherbird is Emerald Springs Roadhouse,
north of Pine Creek, stop for a coffee and a meal on the shady deck out the
back and chances are a SBBB will join you in the deck looking for scraps.
They’re relaible and quite tame.
Yellow-tinted Honeyeater sporadic but quite common in savannah woodland around
Katherine, and around town, the eucalypts around the Katherine Visitor
Information Centre carpark are a fair bet.
Cheers
