Good one Bodhi!
Much prettier than a mass-produced mudman, and I imagine he eats lots of unwanted critters in your trees!

Was he escaping the sun? 
Trying to work out what sort of bird it is, kinda reminds me of a butcher bird but the yellow markings and slightly hooked beak are throwing me off a bit.
Anyone here an ornithologist?

This guy is a honey eater. the long hooked beak is to get right inside the flower. Yes it was hot yesterday, and windy, i think he liked the shade and dampness.

Do you put out anything to deliberately attract the birds, Bodhi?
