Thanks Sindri and George :D I only got one shot before he flew off and am pleased how it came out
I shot it in landscape (horizontal) view and realised afterwards it looked better the other way round, luckily I had enough room in the shot to crop it to portrait format
Thanks for your comments I have learnt a lot since I started photographing birds and posting on here.

thanks :D
The butcher bird was about the size of a UK starling or US mocking bird
While we was in Kings park one flew down and grabbed a teabag ! here's a not very good shot I got to give an idea of his size
Afterwards I removed the teabag in case he ate the string !
