I had been busy trying some close-up shots of the flowers, with the 100mm F2.8 Macro on the KP, when this one just walked nonchalantly by, barely 3-4 feet away from me! Snap, snap!

Nice catch! Any birders here know what it is?

Thanks Apet-Sure. It is a Magpie Mudlark (sometimes called a Peewee). I read somewhere that the early Australian settlers mis-diagnosed its lineage but the name stuck.
