Image of Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae (Gmelin & JF 1788)

Description:

I got out of the car at about 4.00pm, and heard the bird calling immediately. Then it stopped. As I made my way through some bush it took off up into the gum tree nearest the golf course. I managed about 5 photos of the bird, only one of which was good enough to be useful for identification. It sung a few more notes. I lost it among the branches and never saw or heard it again over the next 30 or 40 minutes I was there. I could not get a photo of the legs, so no banding info I'm afraid.
