Thank you MacC :)
Nice pics Leanne
Thank you Maria! Thank you Sarahaw1981. I'm glad I got Mum in the pic too, when I got home & tried to ID them, it was her who I looked to. Thanks :)
Very nice series!
At first when I saw the first picture I thought immature Grey Butcherbird, then saw the second one and so glade you were able to get the adult in the same photo. Lovely find!!
