These little guys aren't even meant to be in the Brisbane area (their documented territory is the other side of the Great Dividing Range).

Shot at Oxley Creek Common this morning.

Taeniopygia bichenovii.

The only Double-barred Finch I saw at Oxley Creek Commons on this visit. Previous visits have featured large flocks of these birds, but this time round only a single one was spotted.

There were heaps of these little guys at Oxley Creek Commons. Could have done with Allan's 600mm lens as they're quite small.

This one did a circuit and then almost landed on the branch in the bottom right, but at the last minute decided not to.
Shot just after dawn, on a cloudy morning.

Zosterops lateralis.

Very heavily cropped, but at least it's sharp. Manually focussed as the foliage was playing havoc with the autofocus.
