Not sure about this little fella? The rings around the eyes should be a dead giveaway but I cant seem to pick it. Any ideas? Thansk for your suggestions :)

Pretty sure that is a varied sittella. Maybe orangr winged?
Thankyou very much! I believe you are correct in saying its an Orange-winged Sittella. I must of gone right passed it in my ID book. I can see a small bit of an orangy colour on part of its wing in teh picture and the rest of it certainly matches up to other pics in the book I have. Thankyou!
you can usually tell a sitella by it's behavior of workin the tree downwards vertically rather than the more conventional acending technique as prefered by the likes of the treecreepers.
I have not seen one before, thanks Bromo. And what a nice photo it is too.

Thanks Beef, I will keep that in mind :)
Araminta, I have been quite suprised with a recent visit to the bush just near where I live with quite a few species I certainly didnt expect like the Noisy Friarbird, Slender-Billed White-Eye, Yellow Tuft Honeyeater and Spotted Pardalote. Really kinda cool :)
Scrutinising the bush with an intense scrut can turn up all sorts of amazing things! It's amazing what's out there.
Great shot. So clear and crisp. I was hoping to get pictures of young Sitellas when we were shown their nest but found it down a few days later. Have not had much luck seeing them since then. sue
