I will get DNA confirmation done on this Alex. I think it’s all photographic effect. It certainly was as huge as it looked in Ewan’s image.

From exactly the same spot the one on 5th June was singing from. It had a completely different vocal repertoire than the previous bird, much less mimicry, but still a BRW. I opened a net and trapped it about 3 feet from where I caught the one last week! Left facing - today, right facing 5 June

Bill length was within normal range for BRW.

Today’s bird was replacing three feathers on the right side of its tail, last weeks was replacing three on the left side!
