Doing some maintenance by my back door today, I looked up to see a young Dollarbird perched on the power lines. Could be determined to age by dull overall colour and grey beak. I did not see it arrive but it stayed for something close to 30 minutes, only once making a brief raspy noisy, including a short flight to the other side of the house to perch on another power line. I think a first time ever I have had one perched within my GBS site.
