Colluricincla harmonica
The Grey Shrikethrush or Grey Shrike-thrush (Colluricincla harmonica), formerly commonly known as Grey Thrush, is one of the best-loved and most distinctive songbirds of Australasia. It is moderately common to common in most parts of Australia, but absent from the driest of the inland deserts. It is also found in New Guinea. Of medium size (about 24 cm (9 in) long) and lacking bright colours, the Grey Shrikethrush—usually just thrush in casual conversation—has an extraordinary gift for ringing melody, unmatched by any other Australasian species save perhaps the two lyrebirds and its northern relative, the Sandstone Shrike-thrush.
Yes Daniele, the most popular bath in town! A constant stream of birds waiting to bathe and the little blue wren considered it his private bath and would chase off anyone who tried to use it. They had to hop in when he was somewhere else!
That's a great bird attracting bird bath that one - lots of spottings from it ;-)
