Inland Thornbill (Acanthiza (Acanthiza) apicalis)

We have just come back from a few days in the beautiful Flinders Ranges in South Australia (I managed to sneak the 500 on board and had a few brief opportunities for birding). I love the Thornbills, they are usually such friendly birds that respond well to my attempts at a type of bird call! This red-eyed species tends to carry it's tail cocked, particularly when people with large white lenses try to imitate their call!
