Seen on the woodland walk behind the Namadgi Visitors
Information Centre this morning. A most obliging bird, posed, called, moved
from tree to tree in the sunlight, showed off its diagnostic undertail coverts,
probed in a tree trunk and ate a caterpillar-like object it found. A great
photo-opportunity but I was, alas, without a camera. For anyone passing
the VIC at the weekend, it might be worth stopping briefly to check if it is
still there – and if so to record it for the blitz. Lots of other action
as usual in that spot which would be a really good site for a beginner to check
out for the blitz. b
