Australasian Figbird

Sphecotheres vieilloti

Notes:

This series shows a group of cheeky figbirds playing around in the trees in my garden. The bird at the top right of the fifth shot is a female with a grey eyepatch instead of the red (at first I thought she was a wattlebird and cut her out of the series - oops)! Obviously they enjoy figs, but they will also eat most soft fruits and berries as well as insects.
