Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)

Although Noisy Miners are quite handsome birds, they are not popular - they're very aggressive and drive most other smaller birds away. They can muscle up to Magpies and Kookaburras and puff out their chest and pretend they're tough - the other birds totally ignore them! Quite funny sometimes!

They do seem to be full of character, don't they Peter.

A super picture you've got here - well done my friend.

A great capture, Peter! I like the pose, clarity, lighting and the bird even has its prey in the beak.
