Yes,A Lesser Redpoll not in breeding colouration.

Agree

Photo taken yesterday morning, in the Cumbungi growing around the edge of a little stock dam. I could hear the chickens begging, so thought I would try and find the nest and take a photo for 'What am I'. Sorry for butting in.

Don't know, Willy, but the parents of the chicks in my photo (page 17) have been identified; they are grey shrike-thrush.

Bet you no one would have picked that Matty.

Bad bird etiquette full stop!

Something Birdlife Australia and others are trying to discourage and has just yesterday finally been banned by one of the birding groups here in Oz I am a member of.
We are well behind the Europeans when it comes to this.
