yellow-throated miner

we thought we found three noisy miners somewhere they definitely shouldn’t be found, and i was worried we would have to report it, but what we have here is actually a separate, closely related species. they later showed exceptional teamwork by harassing an australian magpie, so the resemblance seems to be more than just visual.

moora, western australia.
