I haven't looked up the ref in bird guide yet, but I think it was probably an immature male or a female. Had a hood, but wasn't distinct. The great thing about seeing one is that the subspecies that it is, is actually near threatened. So it's good to see one.I've also seen Dusky woodswallows there yesterday and today. I've seen them before, but not at my patch, it seems they've just turned up. So that's cool, and although they stick to the canopy and above it's a pleasure watching them flying up and around, real acrobatics of the air.</blockquote>
