Trail Camera 30 April - 5 May 2020

We've got four firsts this post, very exciting. And a mystery bird needs identifying. I'll try to highlight them in some way so you can scroll straight to them if you wish.

This is the last we will see of the little kitty. I managed to trap her about 4.30pm on the 5th and the Ranger picked her up the next morning.

My skinny old mate, still going. He  hasn't called in for a carrot for awhile - maybe he's going next door!

Lyrebird

This reminds me of when KT stayed overnight with two English friends she had just collected from the airport in Sydney. We were very excited the next morning to see a Lyrebird outside the English girl's room.  When they came up we asked if they had been fortunate enough to see the Lyrebird. Surprised by our enthusiasm, they replied 'do you mean that scrawny looking dull brown bird'. We were left somewhat nonplussed.

She, as least I think it is a she, drank, bathed and stalked around for about 10 minutes

Grey Fantail, and .... wait for it.... a White Cheeked Honeyeater. A first. An obliging New Holland Honeyeater lands at the end for comparison

A couple of Wonga Pigeons, who, like the New Holland Honeyeaters feature numerous times daily.

What is this bird? - A Brown Headed Honeyeater, an immature WhiteNaped Honeyeater or something else entirely?  Can someone enlighten me?

And ANOTHER first - a Golden Whistler and Grey Fantail
