Eastern yellow robin (Eopsaltria australis)
This little guy suddenly appeared very close by while I was shooting fungi and seemed to just sit and watch. Quite fearless.
In a national park rain forest in a very dark and damp gully. There are actually very few bird species which explore these darker forests at ground level. Lack of light and focus dominates.
Ranges from the southeast corner of South Australia, most of Victoria, the western half of New South Wales and up to Cooktown in Queensland.

The Eastern Yellow Robin is an Australasian robin of coastal and sub-coastal eastern Australia. The extent of the Eastern Yellow Robin's residence is from the extreme southeast corner of South Australia through most of Victoria and the western half of New South Wales and north as far as Cooktown. Tropical Northern Queensland birds are mainly restricted to the warm heights of the Great Dividing Range.
