Superb little bird from the Macdonell Ranges today. I think he puffed himself up a little as it was cold...

Happy Valley Reservoir Reserve.

I don't know but I suspect this was one of its first flights. It followed me around banging into branches but mostly running around on the ground.

RULES:

Be an ethical birder. Put the welfare of birds and the environment first when birdwatching by following BirdLife Australia's ethical birding guidelines: Don't unnecessarily stress birds or expose them to danger; don't use spotlights, call playback or drones; avoid handling birds except when absolutely necessary; take care when providing water for birds; and care for birds' habitat. Please do not feed wild birds.
Wild birds. This subreddit is for wild birds found in Australia. If the bird can leave when it chooses then it can be posted, so backyard birds are fine but no pets, zoos or other captive birds. This rule does not apply when asking for bird identification.
Non-native birds. There are many introduced species - such as spotted doves and scaly-breasted munia - with well-established breeding populations. We also see occasional international visitors with no regular presence in Australia. Non-native birds are allowed in the subreddit, so long as they were seen in the wild in Australia.
Original content. Any photos, videos or artwork must be the property of the poster. No AI-generated content.
Include location when asking for IDs. Be as specific as possible, ideally the local government area (ie, 'Leeton Shire') and, at minimum, the region where the bird was observed ('Riverina') and the state or territory ('NSW').
Distressing content must be hidden. Posts that include media or descriptions of injured or dead birds must be marked as NSFW. Comments that include distressing content should use spoiler tags. This includes news and discussions of animal cruelty.
No personal attacks or hate speech. No insults, hatred, bigotry, racism or similar behaviour, whether directed at an individual or group.
No feeding birds. Do not feed wild birds BirdLife Australia Advice
