As well as being visited by the young singing magpie at the CREEC café, a juvenile pied butcherbird decided to join me briefly to see if there were nibbles available (there were not!) It was in the process of moulting and looking scruffy, unlike the sleekly beautiful adults.

The butcherbirds have even lovelier songs than magpies, but this one declined to sing for me :)
