Wonderful! Bags of character. I really like that.

Thanks Jack.
They're quite comical.

Hey Jack, this is one of the birds I really want to see in person someday! Really pretty! The other must-see for me is the Fairy Wren... such a lovely bird.

Here in the states, here's our version of the Robin:

With all the commotion on the news w/ the spotting in NYC, thought I'd bring this one back. This is way before I ever got into bird photography... just thought it was another cute duck. Lived on the lake by my place in Virginia for a year or two..

Really beautiful, and full of life.
As beautiful as all the fine weather ones are there's something special about these 'weather' shots.
You've captured that very well.
Hawk doesn't look fazed one bit by the rain.
