leaden crow-shrike

i saw my first ever currawong! this guy belongs to the western subspecies of grey currawong (Strepera versicolor plumbea), historically known as the leaden crow-shrike. the wikipedia page listed it as a “leaden cuckoo-shrike” in some places, but checking the cited Whitlock (1910), that seems to have been a mistake.

Safes @safes007 asked…

Hiya,

What are you using to take photos of birds? Those circle photos are really cool, are they edited or come from a particular kind of camera or something?

Thanks

thanks! the circles are from taking them through binoculars (this camera through these, for the most part). sometimes i end up zooming or cropping the circle out of frame.

this is pretty cumbersome, since any movement or tilt of my phone relative to the binoculars can ruin the shot, but hey, we make do with the tools we have :)
