I've nearly given up on writing these, a week since my last update and I keep putting it off. Grey skies, stuck at home in a lockdown that extends week by week. The wildlife never seems to change, so rarely is it anything other than the introduced pests or the few boisterous locals who can survive in suburbia.
In the garden almost every day all I see are the Common mynas[1] and the occasional Blackbird[2]. Today three or four Mynas sat morosely in the plum tree chittering at each other and watching for the cat, then the very clear, loud, musical call of a tiny thornbill attracted my attention. Brown thornbill I think, but they're so small, and so hard to tell apart. I stood and watched it for three or four minutes before it darted off up into the bay tree and out of sight.
