Thats cool. I have been trying to capture a decent picture of these guys myself but they can be difficult at times.

Wonderful captures! What lens did you use?

These guys most definitely demand attention. They can also get very territorial. My lot recently chased away a new addition to the local area, Little Wattlebird - and that guy is bigger than they are!

Thanks for the comments, I used a 400l.

These were taken on a walkway that leads down to a wetland area and the NHH's are used of people walking past all the time and sit on top of the shrubs to watch people walk past then continue feeding once the danger has passed.
