Yellow Robin beats the greys

Grey-headed me chased Grey-headed Robins today only to find an Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis) making the grade.


Some fill flash does the trick on a track in Broadwater State Forest Park, 45km NW of Ingham.


And here's a Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) trying the bee-eaters' diet in Broadwater.


Looking hopeful, but that's not the way to hunt bees.


Better to sit around quietly and pounce on anything tasty passing by.
