This afternoon my GBS site was visited for the first time this season by a representative of Halcyon sancta, the Sacred Kingfisher complex.  I tried to get a snap but every time I worked out where it was calling from it flew to a different tree.  Clearly it was the yet to be formally described race H. s. typo.

After 14 days exploring other (unknown to me) parts of their territory the Tawny Frogmouth family returned to my GBS site this morning.  The chicks muttered continually as I hung out the washing 5m from them and this clearly meant "Here's looking at you kid."   see attached image.
