These are very beautiful thornbills, probably one of the more beautiful of the many in Australia.
I was pleased to be able to capture these again at Cooleman Ridge (where they bred last year) but I was rather annoyed because Mr Nervous (the Canon 40D) was too sensitive and couldn't focus on the brid when it was nice and close. In the end, though, nice pics, so it is let off he hook (for the time being...)
