A pair of interesting birds; loud at least!

Hi Robin

Thanks ... the sources I had didn't have great pictures so I thought it wasn't a match. Interesting how much different the juvenile feather patterns are than the adults! And they are the loudest thing I've had in the backyard (unless you count endless cockatoos and the occasional husky throated wattlebird!).

Hi Feathered Fanciers

Happy New Year 2015!

Heard a new call (most are for me!) that got me wondering what was perching high up in our conifers; a pair of birds but I haven't found a match in my usual sources. The fairly dense growth on the conifers made for less than optimal shots - I resisted hacking off intervening branches (want to keep it like a tree!).

A low resolution collage of the (presumably Male and Female) pair is attached:

There is also a link to a higher resolution collage:​
