I will Mark. <Ba-dum Ching>
Thank you! Argy, you just crack me up! It was my first time I've seen this bird too. They certainly stand out against their habitat.
nice capture!
Hey lori remember to do an extra big hop when you get to Bass Strait :))
We're hopping to get back to Queensland in the next year. And this time we'll make sure to visit the tablelands.
Exactly what lori.tas says.
Well spotted. I have yet to see one myself.
