A good day today with 3 new birds.
My 2nd new bird was a Weebill, there were lots of them but I had difficulty getting a good pic

At first I thought this must be a yellow thornbill but when I checked I noticed that the races flavescens & occidentalis are both much brighter yellow than the race brevirostris which we get here. Good one, pacman, & thanks for adding to my learning (if I remember!).
Wow, if I saw that I would assume it was a thornbill. What is the difference?
edit: saw woko's post after I sent this!

Well done Peter and a good find, I have never seen these cute little birds before.

Question, are weebills Oz's smallest bird?
Nice photo!
Yes the weebill is the smallest Australian bird ,nice shots ,the ones around here tend to have a lot less yellow and never seem to stop moving.
I took 140 pics and have retained 45 after my first review/cut and expect to delete a few more during the 2nd review cut

Did you get dizzy trying to shoot these Peter, I dont thnk I have ever seen one actually come to a standstill. Great effort.
patience - that's what the p stands for in pacman
but seriously, I knew that it was a new bird for me and I am rather detemrined at times
