| Hi Margaret
it's a juvenile Blackbird.
There are a few around, usually in gardens. I find them "subdued" compared to the quite prominent songbirds I grew up with in Germany. The Song of the Blackbird is one of the things that will still get me homesick after all this time living here.

I shot this at the Jerrabomberra wetlands this evening. It was a long way off and the light all in the wrong place, so, with apologies, this frame was the best of a terrible batch. Judging by the silvereyes and Euro goldfinches that were around at the time, I would say this was the size of a blackbird, or even a little bigger. It’s got me puzzled. Thank you all Margaret Leggoe
