Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus leucopterus)

Taken at Elachbutting Rock ,Western Australian wheatbelt.
This is the race leucopterus.They are fairly common and widespread and they have a beautiful song.Maybe not quite as beautiful as their cousin ,the Pied Butcherbird, but well worth hearing if you get the chance.
