This set was taken early Wednesday morning when we had a few hours of clear sunshine before our weather returned to normal - i.e. overcast, wet and windy. It appeared to be looking for insects beneath the bark.

I think this bird is of the same species that sandra posted over which there was a question about its ID.

HI Tark
It's a new one for me not seen before top shots.
Nice series of a beautiful Tas endemic. Must get down there one day to check them out.
Cheers,

Thanks for showing us this pretty bird. I like the first one, with his feet off the tree
Cool shots Tark, thanks for sharing.
dingo, I'm afraid there are hundreds of Tassie birds I have never seen, just scraping the surface. It's always a thrill when you download a new one.

George, let's know when you're coming - maybe I can pick your brains for tips. :)

Birdgirl, how lucky was I when this guy landed on a tree not more than 6 metres from where I sat in shadows beneath a Cootamundra Wattle - I just kept blasting away!

Tassie, thanks mate.
