A NEW BIRD....

... for my "collection" of "Birds around Penrith"!!!!

This is a butcherbird and although fairly common around the area I have not seen one regularly to get a shot. Some info on Birds in Backyards here, and to hear their call which is similar to our magpie, check down on right hand side of info page. 

However, today on another stunning winters day, found this one enjoying the day at the white water rafting course. We had popped in for a quick coffee (being such a top day) with friends who joined us on the New Zealand Blip meet in April. They had called out to check on Nanna.

Hope you all have a great weekend, and again apologies for lack of comment, do hope to get a bit of time over the next few days? Really appreciate you dropping by and giving your feedback and comment, thanks.

Enjoy, and have a look in LARGE
