  9. Those are gorgeous shots of this Grey Butcherbird, Carole!!! I love the progression showing him having a nice lunch on the cicada or whatever he's eating! Amazing that you could get so close, or perhaps you have a fine zoom lens! I love your photos!

  12. A great series of photos of the juvenile Grey Butcherbird. I see Pied Butcherbirds around my place - but no Greys.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
