Grey Butcherbird with a piece of skewered cheese

This spotting is especially to illustrate the feeding habit of the grey butcherbird. Around this tree, this handsome little visitor would usually find a skink, bash it against the trunk and fly away with a floppy lizard in its bill. It had no luck today so I threw out a few pieces of cheese. The bird picked one of the pieces and skewered it to a small fork in a broken branch (seen to the left of the bird). It waited a while before eating the cheese. It's mate can be seen sitting behind him- just visible. A wonderful habit to observe in your own back yard !
