A small member of the cuckoo-shrike family here in Australia. This is a male bird that was feeding in low heath habitat. A very nervy bird that is difficult to get close to.

Thanks Greg

I think you did very well. I love the shape of the perch and the over the back pose. Well done!!!

Another excellent post Greg. The background is nice and smooth, but the lower portion suggests habitat as in the foreground. Very interesting bird.
