Great. And lucky you. As you noted “It is hanging with a group of 3 Wattlebirds”,
please note any sign of vocal mimicry. That is the situation it occurs in, although now is still a bit early in the year (most occurrences are during winter). As for the photo, still very good. By comparison, I would hate to publicly display again, my first
ever - barely visible - photos of a Regent Honeyeater (in 1974), the one that started the discovery of the vocal mimicry phenomenon. Although I have taken lots of video since then…………

Well you could knock me down with a feather. Just had one at my bird bath :)))))
Could only get shots through my dirty window as it took off when i went to the front door but it came back again. It is hanging with a group of 3 Wattlebirds but they have left now. Hope it comes back.
