Sitting at my desk working away, and then a lovely display by a Rufous
Fantail just outside the window in the spindly hakea ... first I remember seeing
in the garden
Lots of lovely small birds around – Grey Fantails, Eastern Spinebills,
various Thornbills, Wb Scrub Wrens, Spotted Pardalotes, lots of Fairy Wrens ...
Plus usual corvids, rosellas, and Gang Gangs recently .
Did have a mystery bird a week or so ago - little smaller than a
Magpie-Lark, generally black/very dk grey above, white below, with some white in
the wings, especially a notable strip at the top of the wing; solid bill. It was
fairly still when perched, and moved from branch to branch before flying off. I
had hoped to get another better look ...
