Grey Butcherbird of Hattah-Kulkyne National Park

Grey Butcherbird

On 4 September 2024, the first full day at the national park, we encountered a Grey Butcherbird near the visitor centre. This is definitely not the first time we have seen a Grey Butcherbird but it is still good to see a familiar creature.

This intimate portrait of the Grey Butcherbird was taken at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore on Wednesday 22 May 2024.It landed very close to me and allow me to photograph it with extraordinary detail. Out of the frame is a Praying Mantis it had caught. Hope you enjoy the picture.
