This post is for Wild Bird Wednesday.
Following on from the last post, this Fan-tailed Cuckoo flew in and landed right in front of me while I was taking photos of the Grey Shrike-thrush.

Grey Shrike-thrush (Colluricincla harmonica)
Scarlet Honeyeater (Myzomela sanguinolenta) (Male)
Scarlet Honeyeater were calling all around us.
White-throated Treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaeus)
I followed the White-throated Treecreeper for quite some time before it finally showed itself long enough for this photo while it was working its way up a tree trunk, and the Willie Wagtail was happy to just perch on a stump.

Will finish off the birds of Churingas B&B next time.
A great series of photos. There are quite a few there that I have not YET seen!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all lovely birds. It is amazing how many birds are out there to see. Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI like them all - but the Shrike Thrush is a favourite of mine. It shows you don't have to be crazy colours to look good and I like its voice as well.
