Bird of the Week: 13th August - LBB's

OK gang - running a bit late again but dealing with a few of the website issues at the moment.

We have done this theme before but I think it is a good one. Lets see photos of those LBB's - little brown buggers!

I posted some LBB s last week, so I thought I quickly go outside and take some new ones. Fast little buggers, here is what I got. Enjoy

Sorry, forgot to say, it's a little Brown Thornbill.

Here is the same bird stretched out, looks different, doesn't it?

A Weebill collecting nesting material Lovely photos everyone! I love the one of the brown honeyeater shoop! Who else here thinks that the name of the brown honeyeater is a bit drab? I've never really understood why it's called that (other than it being brown and a honeyeater) I've always thought that it should be called something more elaborate

Well, definitely not a Brown... the only other quails out your way are Little and Painted BQ and it's not a Little BQ either so it has to be a Painted BQ.

Check Inland Thornbill instead of WTB... WTB has no striations and a characteristic of Inland TB is they often have their tail cocked in a wren-like posture.
