I was taking an afternoon stroll a few days ago when a thornbill came over to say hello.

Thornbills (or yellow bottoms as they are fondly called) are barely 5 cms (2 inches) long. The picture on the left was taken with a 300mm zoom. Then the image was digitally enlarged. You get the idea of how small these birds really are against objects in their natural environment.
They first attracted our attention when we were trying to photograph some peewees in a paddock. What appeared to be leaves rolling
The thornbills were busy playing with their willy-wagtail friends in the paddock when we called out to them. Smaller than my thumb, these birds left the safety of the scrub and sat on the fence, singing for us and posing for the camera. They remembered us even though another year had passed from our previous visit.
