There she is! My first wattle-eye! Next step will be one of the really colourful ones from the equatorial forests, and then the wattled broadbills of the Philippines, and finally the sunbird-asities, the kings of tiny birds with crazy facial skin hahahaha Posted 2 years ago

  What a lovely bird, the moustache is a great touch too. Love how you are persistently ambitious, keep it up mate. Posted 2 years ago
