This one is a Little Stint (with lots of zoom and lots of heat haze), which are rarely reported in Melbourne despite being here annually (probably), bc they’re so similiar to a red necked stint #birds

He was our target bird for this trip, and while we were busy taking snaps of a female pink robin, this lovely guy flew into our frames. Good bird!
