Grey Butcherbird


Grey Butcherbird at Sandy Point

COMMON NAME: Grey Butcherbird

CATEGORIES: Bush

Like their larger cousin the Magpie, the Grey Butcher birds call is a pleasant and mellifluous addition to the bush sounds of Sandy Point.

A sentinel bird, you might spot one sitting high on a fence or up in a tree, waiting to ambush its prey. Sunbathing skinks beware!
