Dusky (Artamus cyanopterus)

I'd briefly seen this one the day before but couldn't get a picture, this guy was rather more obliging.

This Dusky Woodswallow meant I'd now seen 5 of the 6 woodswallows to be found in Australia. The remaining one (Little) wasn't really in the areas I visited.

This one doesn't appear in the Gallery too often, in the last year only three images have come in, two by Hans & Judy and the other by Peter; so I'm really rather excited to be able to join them!!;)
