Walking back from the shops, a cluster of bird droppings on the footpath gave away the Tawny Frogmouth roost in a branch above

One slept while the other gave the clear hint it would prefer I moved on

I appreciate how New Holland Honeyeaters almost always look startled and confused. It’s a mood

female peewee [magpie-lark, ssp. G. c. cyanoleuca] (details)

the magpie-lark can sometimes be mistaken for an australian magpie, and indeed they can both be found on short grass. but this species has a smaller body and beak, much lighter coloured iris, and completely black on the back of the head (no white).

males have a black face and white eyebrow, and females have a white face and no eyebrow, so this is a female.
