The Gilbert’s Whistler inhabits the dry eucalyptus woodlands and open forests of inland southern Australia. In the Cowra area they are occasionally seen in the callitris woodlands around Koorawatha but they have been absent in recent years. So it was reassuring to see this Gilbert’s Whistler pair busy building a nest during the recent spring surveys.
