Thanks. Muskies more often heard not seen, I was so happy to finally see this group close enough to get good shots, usually they're way up high in Eucalypt trees or silhouetted against the sky as they fly past. Only fairly small bird. Not as common as years previous.
I've not seen this species before. Great spotting and info :-)
