As these are topical, the below snaps from my garden this morning might be of interest.

Of more interest is that I showed this chatline pics of a similar transitional male at the same bower almost exactly 2 years ago. That now full-plumaged male is still around. At 9 years it would be too young to be the father of the present 7-year old. The bird now shown has probably been one of the yellow-billed green students at the bower over the last 3 or so years.

More bowerbirds around, more transitional males.
