The White-throated Gerygone has a cascading melodious song and bright olive, yellow and white plumage that makes it easy to recognise. It feeds on insects in the outer canopy of trees.

There are few records in winter, but numbers increase quickly from September to October, then decrease through November and December as the birds move into the woodland areas to breed. More
