Bloody great photograph. Well done, Rick. I've only seen this bird once in my life. Please tell us all more about its behaviour... LJ

Thanks everyone. Manage to get to the Nullabor at least once a year diving and usually there is some spare time for the birds.
Lorne, bird was one of a group of about half a dozen moving quickly from bush to bush. They would flutter around looking for insects then run along the ground to the next bush.Looked a bit like Fairy Wrens behavior but much faster.

Rick, you should put the Redthroat record on the Birline South Australia section of Eremaea asap. Eremaea is a bird sighting database. I visit it each day. www.eremaea.com LJ
