While wandering around Bongil Bongil National Park a week or so ago, I was
looking over a vegetation-covered dune to sea and caught a few very poor
photos (long distance, only 250 mm lens, hand held)  of a bird scrambling
around. Three of these are attached (lowish resolution for email). The bird
was circa 15  cm in length, juvenile I guess but the most striking thing was
its back. In the sun, the back had a number of greenish-goldish flecks which
were most striking-indeed iridescent in the bright sun. Any suggestions on
what this bird could be?



Many thanks in advance





David at Blackheath
