Leaden Flycatcher in suburban Melbourne

[Merrilyn Serong <>]

Hi all
There's a male Leaden Flycatcher in my suburban garden (Burwood, east of 
Melbourne). I couldn't believe it when I heard it when I was inside the 
house. It took a little while to find, but sure enough there it was. 
It's been here for at least an hour or two and I have had excellent 
views of it sitting out on a branch in the sun, quivering its tail and 
making lots of noise. It even caught a large fly while I was watching 
it. Its wings and tail almost have a dark purple-brown tinge in the sun, 
but its head is quite black
Cheers,
Merrilyn
