Lord Howe Gerygone

Gerygone insularis

The Lord Howe Gerygone (Gerygone insularis) is a small passerine bird native to Lord Howe Island, an isolated volcanic island in the Tasman Sea. This bird is known for its distinctive olive-green plumage, with a pale grey throat and underparts. It has a slender bill and a relatively long tail. The Lord Howe Gerygone is an agile and active bird, often observed foraging for insects and spiders in the forest canopy. Its melodious and varied song adds to the charm of the island's avifauna. Due to its restricted range and small population, the species is vulnerable to habitat loss and introduced predators.

Habitat: Forest canopy and woodland
