YELLOW-BREASTED BOATBILL
Machaerirhynchus flaviventer 12 cm

·          In Australia the Yellow-breasted Boatbill is restricted to north Queensland.

·            It is a flycatcher that forages mainly in the middle storey of rainforests.

·        The male is mainly black and yellow, with a wide bill and often a cocked tail.  
        The female is duller.    

·       The call is a soft ‘pee-dee-dee-dee-wit’.

·       Usually in pairs, it is an active feeder in foliage.  It also hawks flying insects.

·        Near Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge it is moderately common.
