Same place, same time (within 1½ hours) as the previous mailing.  Hint – a male white winged triller was photographed in a tree only a few metres away from this one.  Note what looks like a patch of dried blood on the bird’s chest.  I blew it up, and it really does look as though it was clawed by something.

Thank you again,

Margaret Leggoe

 

PS.  The greatest difficulty I had this morning was deciding which bird to point my lens at.  The tree tops were alive with pardalotes, thornbills, varied sittellas, willie wagtails, eastern rosellas, red-rumped parrots, and lower down the fairy wrens and dusky woodswallows.  And one diamond firetail.
