    As per the label says! These birds live around the perimeter of where I am working and are easy to see while sitting on the fence, so I often tempted to go on a 5 minute "fence inspection adventure". PS unlike all pictures in the Gallery this bird is not sitting on HV power lines :)

    Apologies for this rather man-made setting, but I haven't seen this bird sitting on a tree yet :)

    This ordinary record shot was all I was able to get of this chappie. He was so nervous just could not get near.

    Saw this on the Yellow Waters Cruise in Kakadu. Apparently they also hang out on power lines but this was the only place i saw one.

    Seen near Wanna Station. The red back is not always visible but from this angle you can see where it derives its name.
