 feeling quite humbled by the response this photo got .. especially from some photographers here that i greatly admire .. thankyou so much 💓

and Wendy .. this is a noisy miner ..
"The noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae, and is endemic to eastern and southeastern Australia. This miner is a grey bird, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye, and white tips on the tail feathers."

it's quite different to the Indian Myna which is an introduced pest here in Australia .. although they look very similar.. ❣️
