Suggest it probably "timed out" mate. You only have so long to respond.

I'm under pressure to put my photographs from the week-end up. I joined Devster on Saturday which meant that there was actually two of us who hadn't read the instructions for their flash units.......Rainforest bird photography is all about flash photography.

In no particular order..

Black-faced Monarch.

Eastern Whipbird.

Yellow-throated Scrubwren.

Golden Whistler.

Not sure what this one is a Brown Thornbill or a Large-billed Scrubwren?

Going through my photos from O'Reillys and found this little fella

I believe he is a little 'Brown Thornbill' happy to be corrected though.

Both BOP are Wedge-tailed Eagle.
