Thanks again to everyone for their welcome to this forum and for the comments on my first posts. Here's another two photos from today's birdwatching. I've tried to be more careful with the cropping this time.

Cheers

Thanks again for the positive responses. Waussie, I'm no expert, I've only observed the Male singing but I suspect that both M and F sing . If anyone wants to hear what the Golden Whistler sounds like just follow this link: http://www.anbg.gov.au​/sounds/ (external link)
