      Great shot Leo. They are not easy to find let alone photograph. Excellent effort.

      Thanks Tobias. It's well worth a visit. I'll get back there myself in the next week or so to try and capture the male.

      Thanks Marlene. This pair aren't that difficult to find. Then it's just observation, patience and luck as usual.
      Looks like they have a nest nearby as they are gathering and carrying food.

      Yes, I think I will try and get down there when I have the time, which may not be for a while!

      Lovely shot Leo. I'd love to see these (or any Quail-thrush really). I just had a look at the map. It's very close to Canberra. Lucky Canberrans!

      Excellent work Leo, definitive shot. I am very familiar with 'that' carpark and have seen this species there many a time (though usually have my macro rather than telephoto affixed :(

      Thanks Roger. It took a while and I didn't see the male again.
