Recently my son informed me the indigenous names of a few of the local birds are based on the sounds they make. I think the White-plumed Honeyeaters should be renamed the "shit-a-brick" birds because that's what they say a lot of the time.
I saw the newly named bird at Simpsons Gap, along with a number of other small birds.
Hope you enjoy the photos:
