#1 Woodgate, Qld in Nov '11 - I think that he is pretending to be shy

#2 Kumbartcho Centre, Brisbane in Jan '12 - just swinging in the breeze

This one was seen on its own and I saw two huge mounds that it had built, a very busy bird indeed.

Sorry all, we have had server issues since late Friday - this morning is the first time I have been able to log in to the site all week. We won't worry about Bird of the Week this week and will instead pick it up again next week

I missed this one, but I wouldn't have had a photo for it anyway. Have never seen one of these birds.  Great shots Shane. And Alex I like yours too.

Thanks Kathie, I am surprised that you haven't seen one of these yet, but I am sure you will.

I'll have to research them to see if there are any around where I live. Never seen one ever but I'll be looking out for sure.

My next door neighbours and I seem to be sharing the effects of a nesting Brush Turkey at the moment - they have the nest and I have lost most of my mulch.

I'll post pics soon, as the mound he has built is huge!
