Evening walk, with the currawongs out in force. This one was nice enough to let me take a photo.

@lmika Don't think I've seen a currawong before…

@Miraz They’re not the most interesting bird to look at. They look a bit like crows except they have white tips on their wings and tail feathers. But their calls are amazing. I can listen to them all day.

@lmika When I saw the photo I momentarily thought it was a magpie, but could see it wasn't. Watched a video to hear its call. Their eyes are quite forward, eh.

@Miraz I think they’re more closely related to magpies than crows. And yeah, their eyes are quite forward. They’re quite contrasted to their black feathers so you can definitely tell when they’re looking at you.
