An inelegant smudge

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

Reluctant though I am to inflict such an inelegant smudge on you, the below murky squealing blob was snapped late afternoon (Campbell Park again, I’m afraid) and later resolved itself, if that phrase is not too much of an exaggeration, into no less than 4 fledgling D Firetails importuning a parent.   The frozen tableau reminds me for some reason of the well-known bronze of the marines raising the Stars and Stripes at Iwo Jima.  A breeding record anyway.
