Creeeeak!

Sounds of a creaky door means there are Gang gangs about. Unexpectedly caught this elusive boy after work today. His girlfriend wouldn't take her head out of the foliage.

@triciaodonnell thanks, they are lovely if elusive birds
@annied @hermann @onewing @bzarrella these birds are a bit of a Canberra thing, but its still special to see them
@danette @shirleybankfarm thanks, its a bit of a backyard wild, but certainly not caged!
@carolmw @skippysue @jyokota @sakphotography he was smiling as he was up to no good tearing the bark of the tree and eating it!
@stownsend I think he must have a special curling iron!
@maree_sanderson thanks Maree, they are special!
@gilbertwood @aglennc @merrelyn @365projectorgsebgritt @birdy @cljs thanks everyone, I was delighted to have the rare opportunity to snap them!
