20201003-MMPI0064

Another short outing at my local patch, Toowong Cemetery.I was looking again for the Barred Cuckoo-shrikes that have been sighted this week, unfortunately no sign of them today. Only a couple of shots of Channel-billed Cuckoos and Australasian Figbird feeding on fig fruits. I very much enjoyed the wonderful repotoire of a vocal Olive-backed Oriole which was performing mimic calls of many local bird species. Also sighted this morning was a male Common Cicadabird which has been seen by several people lately.
