I know how you feel Broc, I think these guys are in serious decline as I haven't seen one in a very long time. Well spotted Dee

There were a lot of them in the NBG last week - a great birding location because it's all native plants. They don't stay sill for long though!

I think I might make a trip to Canberra, haven't been there for ages. Good catch.

Excellent detail. One of my favorites.
