Headed down to Stirling National Park to climb Bluff Knoll in the deep south west.
Didnt have much time for chasing the birds though I did stop at Cranbrook trail walk
Managed to get myself a new tick, I thinks it a Varied Sittella.
It quite fascinating watching him hop around the tree trunks up and down hunting bugs
Not sure what other bird is and there was plenty of Elegant Parrots which I hardly see in the Bunbury area
Certainly will be returning down there during wildflower spring season with birds being number one priority 
Great shots of really great birds! The 2nd bird is a Western Whistler, previously a subspecies of Golden Whistler.
Thanks Tim
I didnt realise until then about the Golden Whistler name change here in the west
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
Sitellas mostly travel down tree trunks, gleaning bugs from upward peeling bark. Treecreepers travel up tree trunks, gleaning bugs from beneath bark facing the other way. So there's tucker for both species. I'm not convinced that modern human food markets work as efficiently as this.
I wondered what that bird was. Good ID Tim. I am hoping to be in WA in October this year.

Well done Laza, now that Tim has indentified the second one is that two new ticks? Great work if so.
Great work Laza

Aiming for DSLR-quality shots with a bridge camera
Cheers Brian
Certainly the first tick of the female of the species for me

Great photos, there is 2 ticks ther for me. I love the variety in the colour of the Sittellas in the different states.
Here's one I took a few months agao.
Nice shot Dev and couldnt agree more, it quite fascinating the different geographical plummages for some birds
