Restless Flycatcher
The first of my Bowra photos and probably the best is this chirpy bird which lives near the shearer's quarters. I couldn't decide on shots so am posting two.
It is a friendly bird and sat on my car mirror when I first pulled up although these shots were taken a few days later from a hide near the lagoon (thank you very much Brian!).
Some more experienced people than I thought this bird had more rufous on the chest than usual and that that was a characteristic of Bowra RF's. The books say the rufous colour on the fine tips of new plumage gets worn off in a short while so maybe this is it's brand new clothes!
