Shama Perch
Perched near the trail in a grove of gum trees, this young male white-rumped shama scans the ground for its preferred meal of earthworms and insect larvae. He would periodically flutter just above the forest floor fanning away the leaf litter to expose the soil below. From his perch, he launched into warbles, ticks, and melodious flute-like song, proclaiming his established territory and mating availability.
