Thanks kdpicturemaker. I was so excited to spot this one. We were driving down a dirt road in Leeton NSW and I was telling my husband stop, stop!!! Poor thing had no idea why. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Not such an easy bird to find as one might think. Great photos & spotting this one KerryH.
Thanks Leanne. So pleased to see this bird for the first time ever.
