Rainbow Pitta (Pitta iris iris)

Second target bird heard singing in at least three spots in the suburban reserve. Its song is unmistakeable thankfully. We already knew this would require luck and patience. It was gloomy and nearly always behind twigs. When it appeared for our lenses it was quite a rush!
