This is really a very nice shot, Richard. From the picture, it seems like your grey butcher bird is on the large side. I'm curious as to how big it really is?

Thank you Mike for your kind comments - much appreciated
Yes they are not small. Length 26-30 cm
This one I'd say was about the former.
They are very powerful birds and have one of the most melodious notes about.

Hmm...they are a good size bird, and they definitely look like a power house. Thanks Richard.
